About
King David Pre-Primary Linksfield (KDPPSL) has provided a world-class education to thousands of Jewish children over the years. We are extremely proud and privileged that the original school situated on the King David Linksfield campus was rebuilt in 2014. The new KDPPSL has 17 modern, fully equipped classrooms including a library, music room, sensory rooms, a coding and robotics room, admin offices, meeting room, a resource room, therapy rooms and a fully functional kitchen. In addition, there is a magnificent, landscaped garden and playground area, specifically designed to accommodate the developmental stages of all children from playschool through to Grade R level. It is like an adventure park for them!
KDPPSL has an enviable reputation as a school of progressive thought, focused on innovative programmes and staff development on an on-going basis. We are on the cutting edge of education, with the SABJE constantly researching, accessing, and implementing the top educational programmes internationally, so that we can actualize the children potential.
The school caters for children with different needs, and they are provided with remediation or extension programmes when necessary. We have an in-house social worker who is available to support parents and children with emotional issues. Speech therapists, sensory integration occupational therapist and physiotherapists are all on our campus and available to provide therapy when necessary, which parents pay for.
The school has implemented a special Hebrew programme and celebrates Shabbat as well as all the Jewish festivals. Early morning davening and brachot are said daily. Music and Physical Education sessions by experts in the field are offered. There is an after-care facility, and a wide variety of extra murals offered every afternoon.
Our outreach programmes help to transcend the differences in cultural, religious and ethnic backgrounds and help to build bridges with the next generation.
Message from the Principal
“Every child that walks, or slides into our school receives a world-class holistic start to their education. First and most importantly, our dedicated teachers and staff ensure that your child feels safe and loved. On the educational side, we follow international trends and include SEL (Social and Emotional Learning) as part of their day. We also focus on their emotional literacy, emotional agility, mindfulness and even incorporate yoga. We provide learnings that are truly relevant to your child future with technology and coding integrated into their STEM lessons. Beyond this, at the heart of our school are our deeply embedded values of Yiddishkeit and a love of Israel”.
