Powerful Learning

At Ruyton Early Learning, we believe in nurturing curiosity, wonder, adventure and joyful learning as children discover and explore their world. Our Early Learning program is for girls and boys aged 3-5 years old

'At Ruyton Early Learning, children are seen as strong, curious and capable learners. Our environment creates opportunities for children to share their theories and thinking, and build on their existing knowledge. We engage with children, families and community to ensure our program is constantly evolving with the children’s needs and interests. It is a beautiful space, an extension of home, where everyone is welcomed and cared for.'

In line with the Reggio Emilia approach, we recognise young children as competent and capable learners, able to share their thinking and theories and be resourceful and creative. Children are provided with opportunities for challenges and success. The learning environment affords students ample time to explore and experiment, to reflect and revisit learning, and to develop awareness of their own abilities.

Ruyton Kindergarten and Pre Prep Programs

Each learning group is designed differently and reflects the children, staff and families who belong to it. Early Learning builds upon children’s knowledge and experiences and is designed to enhance the development, creativity and learning opportunities of each child and the group. There is a continued focus on the development of early literacy and numeracy skills, as well as inquiry learning skills. Children in Kindergarten and Pre Prep enjoy Story and Research (Library), and Music and Dance with Specialist teachers. Our Pre Prep children also participate in French Language and Culture learning.
