Early drop-off times and aftercare

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. Our aftercare service is available to children from Group 4 at an additional cost, as stated on our fees letter.

Holiday care

Our preschool is closed during the school holidays, with a holiday care option available. Children in Group 3 may attend at no additional cost, while children from Group 4 onward may attend at a fee, as stated on our fees letter.

School transport: door to door

Our school transport service is available to learners travelling to and from our school, at an additional cost. Children are dropped off and picked up from home!

The routes covered by our transport service are as follows:

• Garsfontein (The Hills)
• Moreleta Park
• Silverlakes
• Olympus

Meals are included

Our preschool fees include breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack, based on age group. These meals are freshly prepared in our on-site kitchen and are delivered to class in time for snack time or 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.

Wonderful outdoor play areas

Children need to run and play during the day to ensure good emotional and physical health. This is a great part of early childhood development. Our outdoor play areas include jungle gyms, playhouses, balancing beams, fruit and veggie garden, mud kitchen, sandpits, discovery room, music room, fairy garden, motorcycle and kick bike track.

Teachers have 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.

Learner support centre

We understand that children sometimes need additional support. From preschool to high school, our learner support team offers various forms of therapy during school hours. The team includes a remedial coordinator, educational psychologist, occupational therapists, and a speech therapist. These services are not included in the school fees, and will be communicated upon enquiry.

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.

Have a look

Woodhill College has a preschool in Pretorius Park, Pretoria, that provides high-quality early childhood development for children from 2 years to Grade R. Our classes are divided by age, and we carefully control the number of children per class to ensure that they are all cared for and entertained. We also form part of the Curro school group, and have early drop-off times and aftercare options.
