How do you access student’s progress?
We monitor our baseline for each child and every month we compare our development, teaching and skill goals set for the child.
Through the parents and teacher’s partnership we are able to communicate and follow up on each child while accessing feedback from parents and deploying tools needed to achieve all set goals for the full progress of all our students
What are the Disciplinary methods adopted?
Every child is different and no one style of discipline fits all. Our teachers are trained to handle conflicts and children melt down and bad behavior using various techniques that will be appropriate at the time and may not necessarily be used the same way again in another situation with the same child.
A child may not be allowed to play with favorite toys in class, a private talk with the child, a time out, etc are methods used.
What separates Belle Meade Nursery School from the rest?
We provide a safe and warm environment with the right tools for learning and an environment filled with love, warmth and fun. Both our children and parents enjoy a great experience, and fantastic customer service.
Our students experience love and form friendships with one another and become a member of our school family.
Does the school offer a school bus service?
At the moment we do not offer a school bus service.
Is there any other information you would like to share?
One of our services is the Mother’s day out. This service is for nursing mothers, business owners, home makers etc. So you need to get to the presentation meeting, go for a training, go to the market/shopping, or need some time to just rest for a while?

What should parents be looking for to decide if your school would work for them/their children?
Parents who want quality, who desire a clean and safe environment, who are looking for a school where they as parents are also welcome, who want a school where the right teaching tools and resource materials are used, where children are treated with love and respect, where children are taught to research, think and ask questions. For all discerning parents that want all of the above, you are welcome with open arms to join Belle Meade Nursery school.
How will your school prepare children for learning and operating in the 21st century?
One of our main focus is to involve our children in STEM classes from their early years. Learning about science, technology, engineering and Maths as early as possible will be of great benefit in shaping the mind of our students to understand better the world they live in.
