Hilaris Independent Bilingual Preschool
At Hilaris Preschool we care for children aged 2½–3, 4, 5 and 6 (the oldest in the reception class). Four groups, four stages — and one place where a child can stay from the first goodbye at the door right up to Year 1.
Children move through four groups with us — and then, if they wish, across the threshold into Hilaris Primary School.
Toddler Group
Their very first preschool. Here everything happens slowly, one step at a time: getting used to the room, the new faces and the rhythm of the day. Two teachers for no more than sixteen children means every little one has an adult within arm’s reach.
Middle Group
The age of endless questions. Children know the preschool well by now, so the real fun begins: group projects, first friendships, experiments, and English that becomes part of the activities rather than sitting alongside them.
Older Group
The year when children start to feel older — and want to be trusted. More independence, more responsibility, their first performances in front of an audience, and ever more confident English in full sentences.
Reception class
The last year before school — and the gentlest start to Year 1 we can give a child. Reception children already know the building, the teachers and the way we work, so the step from preschool to Hilaris Primary School is hardly a step at all.
Group size is not an organisational detail — it decides how many times a day someone notices that your child doesn’t understand something, is frightened, or has just done something for the very first time.
