Pre-School: The Adventure Forest
A Nurturing Co‑Ed Preschool at Grace Trinity & St Declan’s
Where Early Learning Feels Like Play
The Adventure Forest is our enchanted co-ed Pre‑School space for Grade RRR–RR girls and boys - formed in partnership with St Declan’s School for Boys. Here in Alberton, Johannesburg South, young hearts and minds begin their educational journey through nature-play, creative discovery, and caring guidance.
As a private Christian Pre-School, The Adventure Forest offers early childhood education that balances emotional, spiritual, and cognitive development. We use play-based learning, outdoor exploration, and early literacy foundations to spark curiosity, kindness, and confidence from the very start.
A Co‑Educational Start for Little Explorers
Young learners flourish in our co-educational preschool environment, equipped with:
Safe, forest‑inspired outdoor spaces
Girls and boys enjoy their own dedicated classes, while the playground provides a shared space to develop friendships and social skills.
A curriculum focused on early literacy, numeracy, and emotional growth
Through guided play, nature walks, and sensory exploration, children develop a love for learning - supported by teachers who understand the needs of both girls and boys at this formative age.
Play-Based Learning with a Purpose
The Adventure Forest combines curiosity and structure. Our daily routine includes:
Creative Play – art, sand, water, and storytelling
Nature Discovery – outdoor tasks that teach respect and responsibility
Early Skills – building phonics, letters, numbers through fun activities
Social & Emotional Growth – nurturing empathy, sharing, and independence
This holistic pathway shapes children who are confident, socially aware, and prepared for the Foundation Phase.
Small Classes, Big Connections
With highly engaged teachers and classes limited to 18–20 learners, we ensure every child receives individual attention. Our small-group model allows early identification of strengths and areas for growth - helping solidify essential readiness skills before Grade R.
