We are open during holidays

As a preschool in Rosenpark, Bellville, 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.

Meals are included

Our school fees include 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 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. 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 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 or nurse dispense medicine in class only if a valid prescription is provided.

Sensory-rich indoor and outdoor play areas

The Curiosity Approach largely incorporates natural and sensory-rich elements, such as wood, hessian, sand, grass, leaves, water and more. We consider our classrooms to be a third teacher of sorts that actively form part of early childhood development. This is why we reconceptualised our classrooms design and layout to support children discovering the world by using their senses.

Our outdoor play is designed around natural elements that introduce children to the world around them. These include a sand pit, a mud kitchen, a running stream with stones to move about, as well as jungle gyms, a ball bit, and more.
