CTS College Preschool - Physical and Online

Overview

The CTS College Preschool offers a vibrant and interactive setting where children are encouraged to explore, learn and grow. It focuses on providing a structured yet nurturing environment where young children can develop academically, socially, emotionally, and physically.
Our aim is to foster a love for learning while helping children build foundational skills that are essential for their future educational journey.
Our dedicated team is committed to providing high-quality care and education in an environment that is both fun and enriching. With small class sizes and a focus on each child's unique abilities and interests, we ensure that every child is given the attention they need to thrive.

We also understand the importance of communication with parents, and we work closely with families to ensure that each child’s individual needs are met. Whether it’s through daily updates, parent-teacher meetings, or special events, we aim to create a partnership that supports the child’s growth and well-being.

We look forward to welcoming your child to our community where they can thrive and celebrate their unique potential.

CTS College also provides a seamless transition from preschool to primary to secondary to degree and postgraduate programmes, all in one location and with the same quality teaching and support services.

Physical and Online Classes

The CTS College Preschool offer parents the option to enrol their child in our physical / face-to-face classes or online classes. As such, students who enrol in the physical programme would be expected to attend the Preschool at CTS College located at 120 Montrose Main Road, Chaguanas. Students enrolled in the online classes are expected to be logged in to the online system (details provided upon registration) at the appropriate times.
