Holistic Development for Leadership
We groom every child in four developmental areas — cognitive, spiritual, socio-emotional and physical — so they grow into proactive, action-oriented leaders.
The bright bus that brings them to school
Our school bus serves Apowa and the surrounding communities, with our own staff on board every trip.
Where every day is a joyful discovery
Prepared Montessori classrooms, outdoor play and fun days build confident, curious children.
Friendship, empathy and confidence
Children practise kindness, turn-taking and self-control every day in a warm, respectful classroom community.
Every child can lead
Our founder's conviction, shared by every teacher at Ikeson: the early years are where leaders are made.
Screened, safe and thriving
Jubilee Catholic Children Hospital visits every third Wednesday to screen our learners, so small concerns are caught early.
Every child can lead
I know that choosing a preschool is a big decision. You’re trusting us with your most precious person, often for the very first time. I don’t take that lightly, and neither does our team.
Our teachers are warm, patient, and truly love what they do. They get down on the floor to build block towers, they celebrate every new word and every shaky first attempt at writing a name, and they know that a hug at drop-off can make all the difference.
Here, children learn through play, curiosity, and plenty of messy fun. We believe the early years are about much more than letters and numbers. They’re about discovering friendship, building confidence, and learning that it’s okay to try, to make mistakes, and to try again.
We also see ourselves as partners with you. You know your child best, and we want to hear from you. My door is always open, whether you have a question, a concern, or just a funny story from the weekend.
If you’re thinking about joining our family, I’d love to meet you and show you around. Come see the classrooms, meet the teachers, and get a feel for our little community. You might even catch a few giggles along the way.
Thank you for visiting, and for considering us as part of your child’s story.
Four areas, one whole child
Holistic development means we look after the whole child. Every lesson, routine and play session is designed around these four developmental areas.
Cognitive
Curiosity, language, numbers and problem-solving, nurtured through hands-on Montessori materials and guided discovery.
Spiritual
Values, faith, gratitude and a sense of purpose, so each child grows with a moral compass and a caring heart.
Socio-emotional
Friendship, empathy, self-control and confidence, practised daily in a warm and respectful classroom community.
Physical
Movement, play, health and hygiene, with outdoor activity and regular medical screening keeping every child thriving.

Our core values
Everything we do is guided by our values and professional ethics, and our learners' overall best interest always comes first.
Learning
As an educational institution our prime focus is teaching and learning. Every child is motivated to learn towards the realisation of their goals.
Integrity
Integrity is key to us as an institution. Our learners are taught to show integrity in everything they do, at school and beyond.
Respect
We teach our learners to show respect at school and at home, to the young and the old, and to their peers.
Accountability
In whatever we do we keep in mind that we must render account. Good leaders do things right.
The learning ladder
From first steps to primary-school readiness, every stage builds on the last.
Creche & Daycare
Gentle care, sensory play and first routines in a safe, loving space.
Nursery 1
Practical life, movement, songs and early language through Montessori activities.
Nursery 2

Health and hygiene come first
