Half-day and full-day options

We accommodate your household’s unique rhythm by having half-day and full-day options. These options have unique fee structures, and the core early childhood development activities mostly take place during the morning. This means that your child will not lose out on any learning if you choose the half-day option – although activities that take place in the afternoons remain developmental in nature.

Early drop-off times

Should you have a challenging commute in the mornings, you can drop your child off from 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.

We are open during holidays

As a preschool in Carlswald, Midrand, 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.

School transport

We accommodate your family’s schedule by offering a transport service to families residing within the Midrand area. This service is available at an additional cost as stipulated on our fees letter and might be dependent on availability and interest.

Meals are included

Our school fees include all breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack. 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.

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 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.

Teachers have assistants

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

Fun outdoor play areas

Each classroom has a dedicated outdoor play area to ensure that children can have lots of fun between friends of age. Playing forms an integral part of early childhood development, which is why these play areas are fitted with age-appropriate jungle gyms, sand pits, and more. We take careful safety measure on sunny days to ensure that children remain protected from the sun while running, playing, and enjoying their childhood.
