Philosophy

Our philosophy is rooted in the rich tapestry of South African culture, values, and traditions, creating a unique educational experience for every child entrusted to our care.

1.  Ubuntu – I am because we are:   We draw inspiration from the African philosophy of Ubuntu, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all individuals within our learning community. At New Beginning, we foster a sense of belonging, mutual respect, and cooperation, encouraging children to recognize the importance of their own well-being in relation to the well-being of others.

2. Holistic Development: We view each child as a unique and capable individual. Our curriculum is designed to cater to the physical, cognitive, emotional, social, and creative aspects of a child’s development. Through play-based learning and interactive activities, we aim to ignite curiosity, critical thinking, and a lifelong love for learning.

3. Celebrating Diversity: South Africa is a melting pot of cultures, languages, and traditions. We celebrate this diversity by integrating various cultural elements into our curriculum, fostering an environment where children appreciate and respect differences. Through exposure to different perspectives, we aim to cultivate open-mindedness and a global perspective.

4. Nature as a Classroom: We recognize the importance of connecting children with nature. Our outdoor spaces are designed to inspire exploration and hands-on learning. By incorporating natural elements into our curriculum, we encourage environmental stewardship and a deep appreciation for the world around us.

5. Partnership with Parents: We believe that a child’s education is a collaborative effort between educators and parents. We actively involve parents in their child’s learning journey, providing regular updates, hosting workshops, and fostering open communication. This partnership ensures that each child receives consistent support and guidance both at home and in the school environment.

6. Play as a Foundation: Play is the cornerstone of early childhood development. We provide a stimulating and safe play environment that encourages creativity, imagination, and problem-solving. Through play, children develop essential social skills, emotional intelligence, and cognitive abilities, setting the stage for future academic success.

7. Lifelong Love for Learning: Our ultimate goal is to instill a passion for learning that extends beyond the preschool years. By nurturing a positive and supportive learning environment, we equip children with the skills and confidence needed for a lifetime of exploration, discovery, and continuous growth.

At New Beginning Pre-Primary, we embark on a journey of education with a commitment to cultivating well-rounded individuals who contribute positively to their communities and the world at large.

Our “CARE” Principle™ encapsulates our commitment to providing a nurturing and enriching environment for our young learners. The “CARE” Principle™ translates to “CHILDREN ARE REALLY EVERYTHING”™ and representing our deep belief in the paramount importance of each child’s well-being and development.
