Why Parents Choose Us

A Home Away from home

We pride ourselves on offering a safe, loving, and homely environment where each child is valued as an individual. We know that the first separation from home is significant, and we ensure it is gentle, supportive, and positive.

Holistic Care

  • Monthly clinic visits for routine health monitoring
  • Access to specialized developmental support when required
  • Secure breathing monitors for babies under six months
  • Baby Massage & Stimulation by trained staff

Play-Based Learning

Our curriculum follows NELDA (early years) and CAPS (older preschoolers), combined with learn-through-play and Montessori-inspired activities. Children develop at their own pace, supported by qualified teachers and trained assistants.

OUR PLAYGROUNDS

Our outdoor spaces are designed with your child's development and joy in mind. We have a dedicated toddler playground that offers safe, age-appropriate equipment to support early exploration and gross motor growth. Our preschool playground provides more challenging opportunities for climbing, balancing, and active play, helping older children build strength, coordination, and confidence. Both areas are thoughtfully created to be fun, secure, and developmentally enriching.

What Makes Us Different

Open throughout the school year (We only close with independent schools in December and reopen the next day in January.)

Closed on public holidays only (If a public holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, we close Monday or Friday to make a long weekend.)

Hot breakfast, nutritious lunch, dinner snack, and tea — daily snacks included.

Weekly baking, tea, and juice, and all educational supplies are included in school fees.

Large natural grass gardens, bike track, sensory paths, and age-appropriate playgrounds.

Clinic Sister visits monthly.

Small class sizes with qualified teachers and their uni-trained staff.

Optional Friday Zulu classes and Saturday messy play sessions.

Multiple extra-mural options.
