Aftercare

We accommodate your household’s unique rhythm by having an aftercare option, which includes lunch. The core early childhood development activities take place during the morning, which means that your child will not lose out on any learning should they not attend aftercare. The activities that take place in the afternoons remain developmental in nature.

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.

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. There are often more assistants for the younger ones and babies, as they have needs that are unique from any other age groups.

Teachers have first-aid training

Children wholeheartedly run, play, climb, and jump, which may sometimes lead to minor bumps and bruises. This is why our designated 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.

Adjustment reports and parent meetings

Our teachers form close relationships with each child, which allows them to know the individual adjustment and progress of your child. At the end of each term, we issue an adjustment or progress report, and have a one-on-one with each parent. Our teachers stay in touch with you mainly through WhatsApp and by quickly checking in when picking your child up in the afternoons. Should they have any concerns, they could arrange a conversation or give you a call 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, seesaws, a mud kitchen, fantasy corners, sandpits, and more. These areas are designed to encourage physical play, and generally have synthetic grass to prevent allergic reactions.

Arrange a tour

Curro Heuwelkruin has a preschool in Myngenoegen, Polokwane, that provides high-quality early childhood development for children from 2 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 early drop-off time and aftercare to accommodate your family’s schedule.
