OUR CURRICULUM


Early Childhood Development

At Las Vegas ECD Centre, we provide a wonderfully stimulating, supportive and happy leaning environment for our children. We encourage learning through play and engage in adult-led and child-initiated activities, all of which are focused on achieving set milestones and outcomes. All children have opportunities to explore and investigate and developing their social, communicative, problem solving and creative skills both indoors and outside.

Every child is valued and we take pride in knowing our children well, taking time to observe how they play and planning activities with a secure understanding of each individual child’s needs and interests.

We care about children’s ‘Early Years’ education and know that getting it right is crucial in providing the building blocks for their future. We believe it is essential that children obtain firm grounding and key essentials that will support them throughout their education phases. We are committed to maximizing this stage by providing a skilled team and a child-centered curriculum that puts structured play at the heart of all we do.

The ECD Centre classes follow the GROW Curriculum for the 3 years’ group to Pre-Grade R /Grade RR class. The Grade R class follow the Government Stipulated Caps Curriculum used in conjunction with the GROW curriculum as well as Number Sense (Mental Maths) Text books. We also use phonics activity books which are specially focused on teaching English to non-English speaking children.


Foundation Phase (Grade 1 -3)

TAt Las Vegas JPS we deliver the full National Curriculum. It is our aim that every child develops their full potential and the curriculum is delivered with these aims in mind. Our planning ensures that pupils have a wide range of experiences that inform, excite and prepare them for the next stage of their schooling and provides a foundation for life-long learning. Curriculum Outlines are sent home each term, informing parents of the work their child will be doing and explaining how you can help.


We teach the following subjects:

  • English (Reading, Writing and Speaking and Listening)
  • IsiZulu (Reading, Writing and Speaking and Listening)
