The Yard Preparatory Academy is a pre-primary/preschool, offering
Grade R, Grade RR and Grade RRR education and Aftercare services in
the Lynnwood Ridge / Willows Pretoria east area. The Yard has been
recognised by the Gauteng Department of Education for its facility and
quality of education.
We follow the CAPS curriculum for Grade R (also known as Grade 0), the
same as used by any GDE school for Grade R. Grade R is the start of
the foundation phase and forms the foundation of your child’s
further education. All our Grade R educators are fully qualified and
our aim is to ensure that learners are ready for their “big
school” day.
For Grade RR and Grade RRR (also known as Grade 00 & Grade 000) we
follow an informal curriculum, focused on the all-round development of
the learner. Our educators provide fun educational activities that
will prepare learners to progress to Grade R with ease. In addition to
the curriculum and daily schedules, we aim to ensure that children
feel safe, are happy, and develop as unique little people as they
learn through play.
