A top independent pre-school in Berea, Durban.
Why Little Anchors?
Our Little Anchors is Maris Stella’s co-educational Pre-Primary school, a small, intimate, and nurturing environment. While separate from Maris Stella’s other phases, the Pre-Primary forms part of the wider school family, with specially delegated high school leaders assigned to each class. Promoting a sense of belonging, boosting confidence and independence, and offering an enriching and unique experience.
Welcome from the Teacher In Charge of our Pre-School
At Little Anchors Pre-School, we offer a vibrant, happy place for young boys and girls to learn and grow.
We pride ourselves on ensuring a great balance between teacher-directed and free choice activities, encouraging active learning which is child-centered, age-appropriate, and, most importantly, fun!
Our Pre-school, as well as being a beautiful environment, is small, intimate, and nurturing. We are passionate about developing the whole child, balancing their cognitive, emotional, spiritual, and social growth from the age of 3 – 6 years.
At Little Anchors, your children will be loved and cared for by our excellent team of teachers and staff, while we lay a firm foundation for her future academic success.
