Preschool

4 months - 5 years old

Our babies, toddlers and preschoolers just have the best time! The priority for our littlest children is for them to experience the world through doing and playing - sensory play, free play, and most importantly, spending as much time as possible outside and exploring! Each class has an age appropriate daily programme which is shared with our parents.

The girl on the left has braided hair and wears a colorful shirt and pink pajama pants with floral patterns. The girl on the right has glasses, brown hair, and wears a pink sweater with rainbow-striped sleeves and light-colored pajama pants with unicorns and flowers. Behind them is a classroom setting with storage shelves filled with art supplies and educational posters on the wall.

Grade R

5-6 years old

Our Grade Rs have a wonderful, packed ‘school’ day. They follow the CAPS curriculum and are taught by a fantastic qualified Foundation Phase teacher, ensuring they are ready for ‘big school’ the following year, while still having exploration and play prioritised.

Aftercare

5-9 years old

We provide aftercare for children from Milnerton Primary School for Grades R-3. Since we are so close, we can walk them back to school. We then provide lunch, our Grade R teacher supports the Grade 1-3s with their homework, and we fetch those who have extra-murals. The children have a ball of a time for the rest of the afternoon in their dedicated playground!
