Educating Future Generations: What Makes FasTracKids the Best Sandton Nursery School?
Education in South Africa has seen a significant change over the last couple of years, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic. In Sandton nursery schools, the focus is on guiding education to shape the futures of upcoming generations. It is important to prepare children in the foundation phase, not only for school but for life as well.
The latest international benchmark testing revealed the shocking results that 78% of 10-year-olds in South Africa cannot read for meaning in any language. The first step to rectifying this and setting up our children for success is to provide them with excellent foundation phase education. The second step is to stop possible barriers to learning from a young age. According to Dr. Melodie de Jager, learning isn’t just remembering the facts, it is changing the way that a child perceives the information. The best way to increase a child’s ability to learn is by developing their critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills.
How FasTracKids is Shaping the Future of Sandton Nursery Schools
Before deciding on a Sandton nursery school, it is important to do your research first. This includes looking at the facilities, the school’s methodology, and reviews from other parents. At FasTracKids, our methodology includes encouraging a lifelong love of learning, building communication skills, and developing creative thinking and problem-solving abilities. Our programme offers a combination of learning skills called FasTrack® Advantages. We focus on the process of learning by teaching children how to think and not telling them what to think. This is done through our 5 Cs:
- Critical Thinking: Our lessons are designed to give your child an opportunity to learn through fun and engaging problem-solving activities.
- Communication: All our classrooms are language-rich environments where communication is encouraged through continuous interaction and stimulating conversation with friends and teachers.
- Confidence: We strive to create a positive environment for every child where we focus on improving knowledge rather than on wrong answers.
- Creativity: Every child is encouraged to practice their creativity while being exposed to multiple subjects with the opportunity to explore their creative thinking skills.
- Collaboration: A collaborative classroom allows children to interact, communicate, learn, organise, and plan together in a fun and stimulating environment.
