School Type: Co-Educational

We have built our reputation over the last 28 years, beginning as a small playgroup in Carlswald and expanding to a school which covers 2 campuses and caters for a total of 13 classes between the two schools.

We believe in individual attention and developing the child in totality.  To help achieve this outcome we include Playball, computer lessons and a music programme in our school curriculum to promote the development of the physical, cognitive and conative areas of development.  Our greatest asset is our team of dedicated educators who strive to do their best for the children in their care.

Facilities

• Beautiful, spacious playgrounds divided into separate areas to cater for each age group.
• Large shaded sandpits and a designated bicycle track.
• Secure premises with access control. Ample parking space.
• Computer Centre for the 4-6 year olds
• Speech therapist available for therapy during school hours.
• Own heated swimming pool for lessons on the premises.
• Ducks, chickens and geese for the children to feed and watch at Carlswald.

We provide a daily cooked lunch for all the children and 3 snacks during the course of the day. The school has a compulsory sun hat policy and all children are sunblocked twice a day during the hot summer months.  The staff members are all first aid and CPR trained and the teaching staff receives ongoing education by attending courses which are relevant to the education of children and ensure that they stay up to date with the changes taking place in education.

Extra Murals

• Karate
• Ballet
• Pottery
• Kindermusik
• Intro to Golf
• Soccer Champz
• Swimming

The swimming lessons are given by the teaching staff of 3.4.5 who have qualified for teaching swimming to children through the PSTCA (Professional Swimming Teacher’s & Coaches Association).  This ensures that the child already has a relationship of trust with the swimming instructor, which results in improved levels of competence over a shorter period of time.

• Annual school concert

The school hours are from 7h00 -17h30, with a half day option until 14hoo.  The toddler section only operates until 14h00, but aftercare can be arranged down at the main school.  The school closes for a mid year break during the school holidays in July and for the December school holidays.
