Arcadia Kindergarten and Baby Care

Arcadia Kindergarten and Baby Care, also called Arcadia School, is a small early childhood centre in Lavington that has been running since 1998. It looks after babies and young children and prepares them for primary school through a play-based programme that mixes structured activities with free play. The school's own description of its programme stresses language development (vocabulary, listening, speaking and early literacy), number work and counting, and art such as finger painting and colouring to build creativity and fine motor skills. It aims to give each child personal attention in a warm and safe setting. Families should contact the school for current class groups, hours and fees. Its crest carries the words Firm Foundation.
