Cathedral Grammar Pre-School
located within the heart of the city
Our play based learning
approach supports your child
as they begin their exciting
journey as a lifelong learner.
Play, laughter and learning are essential
ingredients for a successful Pre-School
education. The crucial early years need to
be nurtured, shaped and cherished as your
child takes their first steps in education.
Cathedral Grammar Pre-School proudly
teaches the children of tomorrow, today.
At Cathedral Grammar Pre-School your
whole family is welcomed into the wider
embrace of the Grammar community
including whole school fun and functions,
services and support as well as smooth
transition to the Junior School and links to
the Prep School.
In Cathedral Grammar’s purpose built
Pre-School, taught by qualified teachers,
your child will discover by curiosity,
investigation and exploration. Our low
child/teacher ratios, ensure your child’s
quality individual and group learning.
Research states that play may be the
single most important things that humans
do. “Our play based learning approach
supports your child as they begin their
exciting journey as a lifelong learner” says
Principal Scott Thelning.
Your child will develop essential
foundations in literacy and numeracy. He
or she will enjoy the benefits of specialised
facilities, subjects and staff including Art,
Physical Education, Yoga and Chapel.
When children feel good about
themselves and their abilities, they are able
to take flight and explore, discover, take
risks and play, laugh and learn effectively
and successfully. “Self-esteem is at the core
of this development process” Thelning
says.
Being an inner city Pre-School gives
you a wonderfully easy opportunity to
engage in your child’s learning if you are
working in the CBD. Every opportunity
is taken to utilise our central city location
to extend our ‘campus’ from the Botanic
Gardens to the Canterbury Museum,
The Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o
Waiwhetu to the Christchurch Transitional
Cathedral, from Tūranga (Christchurch
central library) to the emergency services.
Every day is an open day at Cathedral
Grammar Pre-School. Contact the
school office to arrange a personal tour
