Welcome to Bush Hill Pre-Primary School
Making Your Child’s World Better
At Bush Hill Pre-Primary, we’ve been nurturing young minds and hearts for over 39 years, providing a safe, supportive, and stimulating environment for children aged 3 Months - Grade R. Every child is unique, and we are passionate about helping each one grow through play-based learning, creativity, and discovery.
Qualified Teachers, Caring Hearts
Our dedicated team of qualified and experienced teachers understand that a child’s early years are the foundation for future success. We focus on each child’s happiness, safety, and development - fostering independence, confidence, and emotional growth in a loving atmosphere.
Learning Through Play
Our daily programme is carefully designed to promote learning through direct play, which encourages curiosity, self-discipline, and maturity - essential building blocks for formal schooling. Children are placed in age-appropriate groups with specially designed play areas, ensuring they thrive at their own pace.
Our Roots Run Deep
Founded in 1980 on a smallholding by the Horn family, Bush Hill has grown while keeping its charm. With nearly 6000 sqm of open space, we offer children a rare gift - a chance to play, run, climb, and grow in a green, spacious environment surrounded by nature.
A Playground for Childhood
We’re proud of our colourful adventure and play areas, designed to enhance gross motor skills and let kids be kids. As modern homes shrink in size, we remain committed to providing the space and freedom every child deserves.
