Early Childhood Programs

Imagine a preschool that nurtures your child’s curiosity.

A preschool where children, with teachers as their guides, explore the world around them, share experiences, learn and play together. An environment that embraces a Montessori methodology, within the framework of the respected International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme. These are the Early Childhood Programs at Glenlyon Norfolk School.

Glenlyon Norfolk School offers two early childhood programs at our Beach Drive Campus: First Steps (3 year olds) and Junior Kindergarten (4 year olds).
