Join us for a Stay & Play session and discover what makes our Early Learning School so special.
 


When sending your precious little ones to preschool for the first time, we understand that you need to have confidence in the people you entrust with your child's care and the experience that we offer. So to help make this progression as smooth as possible, we have created our Stay & Play events which allow you to experience our Early Learning School first-hand.

With our Stay & Play sessions, you and your child will be immersed in our warm and inviting environment and participate in various age-appropriate learning activities. Children are encouraged to explore and play with their peers while you have the time to talk to our teachers and leadership team to find out if our preschool is the right fit for your family.

Why Stay & Play?

  • Stay & Play enables you to get a real feel for Sunderland Early Learning School – from our nurturing, supportive and engaging atmosphere to the level of care and attention all youngsters receive from our expert teaching team. You'll see what a typical day will look like for your child as we share our routines, practices and positive foundations for learning.
     
  • By interacting with the teachers and children within their age group, your little one will begin to make new friends and connections. This familiarity will increase their comfort level and confidence, ensuring the continuation to preschool will be much easier for you both.
     
  • Our Centre Manager or Operations Manager will take you on a personalised tour of our facilities, where you can speak with staff, ask questions and watch us in action. You'll also learn about our inquiry and play-based curriculum and School Readiness Programme, which gives older children a head start on early literacy and numeracy for a seamless transition to primary.

Stay & Play sessions are run daily, with a morning option from 9am to 11am and an afternoon option from 2pm until 3:30pm. We ask that at least one parent or caregiver attends the entire event with your child to ensure our high teacher-to-child ratios are maintained. Bookings are essential.
