Joy of Learning
In November 2018, Nova Pioneer acquired a Boksburg based infant centre and pre-school, Stepping Stones, which underwent a process of gradual transition to Nova Pioneer. The Infant Toddler Centre accepts children ranging from 3 months to 3 years. Nova Pioneer’s Infant Toddler Centre isn’t merely a daycare centre, it is run by well-trained caregivers and teachers to ensure each child’s developmental needs are met every step along the way. The caregivers and teachers create routines and nurturing classroom environments that foster social and emotional development for the children.

Nova Pioneer Stepping Stones
Babies and toddlers have the right to a positive early learning environment from a young age. Researchers have found that a there is a link that exists between infant care and life outcomes all the way into high school. At Nova Pioneer Boksburg – Infant Toddler Centre, we understand that children are competent and active learners, even from infancy.
We believe quality infant care is one of the best ways to promote your child’s healthy learning development. Our curriculum is founded upon the world-renowned Reggio Emilia approach to early education and the pedagogy of play. We believe children learn through play and by using the approach of learning through creative and purposeful play, we are able to teach children age-appropriate lessons, manners, and social skills while still very young.

Nova Pioneer's Infant Toddler Centre
Quality infant care is one of the best ways to promote your child’s development. At Nova Pioneer, we have a curriculum that provides a framework for our infant classrooms. The curriculum is founded upon the world-renowned Reggio Emilia approach to early education.

Reggio Emilia Inspired Toddler Classroom
The toddler environment and spaces have been designed so that they foster interaction and communication, exploration and participation, a sense of autonomy and curiosity. In fact, the environment is thought of as the “third teacher” for its ability to foster connections between ideas, people and things. What does Reggio look like in practice?

Developmental Milestones in a Child’s First Year
Skills such as taking a first step, smiling for the first time, and waving “bye-bye” are called developmental milestones. Developmental milestones are things most children can do by a certain age. Milestones that we look out for in the first year.

Meals
The school only provides meals for the Infant Toddler Centre. Students in grades R and upwards are encouraged to become more independent and bring their own meals and lunch boxes.

Joco Solomons, Nova Pioneer ParentWe decided on Nova Pioneer because we loved the concept of the enquiry-based learning as well as how the school is so committed to nurturing children into becoming young adults who think rigorously about the future of the world. My daughter has grown by leaps and bounds during her tenure at Nova Pioneer. She is very innovative and has become a go-getter which makes me so proud. Nova Pioneer is a great school.

Grant Son, Nova Pioneer ParentI think the the community meetings the children have are fantastic. We as a family believe firmly that community awareness and community responsibility is one of the core fundamentals in society. Without a strong community, society in itself will fold. Therefore, the fact that Nova Pioneer encourages our children to be responsible and caring and giving, is probably the MOST noteworthy experience.

Shaneel Nunkha, Nova Pioneer ParentThe small classroom sizes was what initially drew us to Nova Pioneer. The idea of our child receiving individual attention was an attractive offering. We have enjoyed the Friday Exploration day feedback sessions where parents get to interact with the students and get an understanding of what they do during the sessions and what they have learned throughout the term. The Nova Pioneer learning approached has had a positive influence on my child's curiosity, always questioning and trying to understand life skills.
