Early drop-off times

We accommodate working parents with a challenging commute by opening early in the morning. Children are welcomed by their teachers or teacher’s assistants and enjoy some free play before the preschool programme starts later on.

Meals are included

Our school fees include breakfast and lunch. These are freshly prepared in our on-site kitchen and are delivered to class in time for meal time. We also carefully accommodate allergies and other dietary requirements, although we might request a medical letter for severe dietary requirements. This is just to ensure that our kitchen staff can correctly interpret and prepare food for your child.

Open during school holidays

As a preschool in Sandton, we understand that working parents don’t get school holidays, which might pose a challenge when children are at home. That is why our preschool remains open during school holidays with a full holiday-care programme at no additional cost. Early childhood development activities continue, although we may arrange some extra fun activities during this time. We are closed only for a specified period during December and January.

Teachers have assistants

Our classes are divided by age and each teacher has one or more assistants in class, depending on the group and the number of children. This ensures that each child gets the care and attention they need, and that they can optimally benefit from our preschool programme.

Teachers have first-aid training

Children wholeheartedly run, play, climb, and jump, which may sometimes lead to minor bumps and bruises. This is why all our teachers are trained in first aid. Please note that national regulations prohibit teachers from dispensing any medicine, even over-the-counter or herbal tonics, without a valid prescription signed by a medical doctor. Therefore, when a child needs medicine during the day, our first-aid officers dispense medicine in class only if a valid prescription is provided.

Daily communications

Our teachers stay in touch with you daily via WhatsApp. They use this to send photos, share their daily progress, or send notifications of more general communications to look out for. This gives you further piece of mind of your child’s safety and care during the day.

Indoor and outdoor play areas

Children learn by interacting with the world around them. That is why our preschool classrooms themselves are considered to be inanimate teachers of sorts. They are designed to allow maximum room for play and movement while being stimulating on a visual and tactile level. By involving the classroom in the learning experience, your child is engaged in early childhood development even when simply enjoying some lounge time with their friends.

Our stunning outdoor play areas include jungle gyms, playhouses, bike tracks, and more. These areas are designed to encourage physical play, and generally have synthetic grass to prevent allergic reactions.

Have a look

Curro Rivonia has a preschool in Sandton, that provides high-quality early childhood development for children from 3 years to 5 years. Our classes are divided by age, and we limit the number of children per class to ensure that they are all cared for and entertained. Your child spends their days enjoying our preschool programme by playing, laughing, dancing, and learning while having lots of fun! We also have an early drop-off time to accommodate your family’s schedule.
