Pre-Primary

At St. Jude CPS, we are passionate about early childhood development and our Kindergarten (Playgroup to Pre-Primary 2) admits children from 2.5 to 6 years. Playtime forms a significant part of our learning in Kindergarten because we understand how crucial it is in nurturing well rounded and adjusted children. Having play as a central part of learning helps children develop physical, cognitive, and social skills and improves their language. Our Early Years of Education is aligned to the Kenyan Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) which comprises:

• Language activities
• Mathematical activities
• Environmental activities
• Psychomotor and creative activities
• Pastoral Programme of instruction
• Religious Education Activities (CRE/IRE Activities)

The new CBC curriculum allows St. Jude CPS to further enhance the competencies that are already part of the school aims:

• Communication and collaboration
• Critical thinking and problem solving
• Imagination and creativity, Citizenship
• Learning to learn
• Self-efficacy
• Digital Literacy

We offer a unique blend of early childhood programmes which enables every child to achieve his or her full potential and make amazing progress. We start working on a child’s confidence and character formation right at this point. The little learners are able to say prayers during assembly, start learning how to tie their laces, work in groups and listen to their peers. The preschoolers enjoy a warm and loving relationship with their teachers making it a home away from home.

Our areas of focus include language and reading, artwork, handwriting, termly themes, team projects and number work. Clubs help to identify and enhance children’s unique abilities and talents: journalism, art, drama and music, Scouts and Girl Guides, cooking club, handwriting club and wildlife club, sports and swimming. These are just some of the opportunities available to our learners.
