Aftercare

Our aftercare service operates until late in the afternoon, at an additional cost. Learners are accommodated in safe classrooms and playgrounds, and the fees include lunch and mid-afternoon snacks.

Teachers with assistants

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

Teachers with first-aid training

Children wholeheartedly run, play, climb, and jump, which may sometimes lead to minor bumps and bruises. This is why designated teachers have first-aid training. 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 will dispense medicine in class only if a valid prescription is provided.

Adjustment reports

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.

Indoor and outdoor play areas

As part of the Curro school group, we believe that children learn by interacting with the world around them. That is why 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 outdoor play areas include jungle gyms, playhouses, sea-saws and more. These areas are designed to encourage physical play, and generally have synthetic grass to prevent allergic reactions. Additional safety measures are taken on particularly sunny days.

Arrange a tour

Oshana Gymnasium has a preschool in Ongwediva, Oshana (Namibia). We offer high-quality early childhood development for children from 3 years to Year 1. Our classes are divided by age and we carefully limit the number of children per class to ensure they are all cared for and entertained. Our preschool programme follows the Namibian curriculum, which engages inherent curiosity and love of play, while supporting children’s well-being all-round. We also form part of the Curro school group, teaching takes place in English, and we have an aftercare service.
