From the John T Rice Infant and Nursery School
We are a lively, welcoming school where learning is always fun. Everything we do revolves around the kids. Our Learning Challenge curriculum is built on major issues that arise every six weeks, in-depth research, and student interests. We think that every child deserves to be treated as an individual because they are. We place a high importance on each child's individual growth. We assist every child in realising their full potential by fostering positive parent-child relationships. Through open house days, assemblies, information sessions, and much more, we actively involve parents and carers in their children's education. We are aware that a strong relationship with parents or carers during the first few months of school can make a big difference for kids. We work hard to successfully communicate with parents/caregivers on a variety of topics and are proud of our pleasant, open door approach. Please get in touch if you are interested in working with us at school, either through our outstanding P.T.A. or in the classroom. I sincerely hope you enjoy browsing our website and discover the data you're looking for. Any questions you may have can be directed to the school directly.
