KRB's Early Learning Centre
There are limited places available for KRB 4 year old programs 2018: Joigny Term Time and Sophie’s Long Day Care.
We are now interviewing for 2019.
Eager explorers and thinkers thrive at KRB’s Early Learning Centre where there’s a place for discovery, adventure and curiosity. The children at the ELC marvel at ‘life’, delight in the real and the imagined and engage hands on with nature and the ’wild’. Inspired by authentic interests the children a...re actively encouraged to wonder, dream, invent, enquire and question. They investigate and delve deeply into challenging and thought provoking issues and problems discovered in the world around them. Whether it is tackling the problem of plastic in the ocean, exploring the intricacies of the brain or tracking unseen foxes through their wild space the children are focussed and excited as they share their ideas, theories and solutions.
Inspired by philosophies from Reggio Emilia and the Scandinavian Forest Schools the children that attend KRB’s ELC grow in both heart and mind to develop into dynamic, adventurous, engaging young people who are curious, inquisitive and socially aware. Come along to a KRB Experience Open Morning and see the wonder for yourself – and invite a friend!
Welcome! A big welcome to all students and staff for the start of the school year. May it be a year filled with discovery, kindness and compassion.

A touching tribute to Tamy Mobarrez, KRB's casual swim coach who will be very much missed.
TO KRB COMMUNITY - There has been a wonderful outpouring of love and support following the news of the tragic car accident last week involving KRB’s Swimming Coach, Hamid and his family.
Both Hamid and his son Eli-Luca are continuing to improve and they are feeling very supported by our community.
A Go Fund Me account page has been set up to assist Hamid and Eli-Luca.

Funds received will go to their on-going support and well-being.
Updates will be provided on the KRB portal of both Hamid and Eli-Luca’s condition.
UPDATE - We have been in contact with the hospital and while Hamid is progressing well, they have given strict instructions that he receive NO visitors (other than family at this stage). We shall let you know when this restriction is modified. We must allow Hamid time to heal and adjust to the needs of Eli-Luca.
