Mellowes Year 1 ECCE Childcare Room
In this room the two year ECCE cycle begins and starts your child on the educational journey that will help them get ready for their primary education. ECCE year1 is run by a qualified and experienced teacher. The children work with specialised learning equipment which is graded in difficulty, self-correction and designed for success.
In our class room children work at their own pace and master basic skills at their own level of ability and as such develop a love of learning.
