Your child’s journey starts here.
We explore, discover, develop, imagine and create.
Early childhood development is crucial to becoming a confident and enthusiastic learner. Our main aim is to instil confidence and a sense of achievement in each individual as a foundation to future learning. Our pre-primary school accepts learners from 1 year old. We offer English and Afrikaans classes for Toddler, Pre-Primary and Grade R learners. In this creative and stimulating enviroment their talents are nurtured by our passionate and caring teachers.
Our Toddler Class
We EXPLORE In the Honeypot class
My fingers keep feeling – is it smooth, is it hot?
I keep looking – what is bright and what is not?
My little body is in the midst of it all:
Whether it’s foam or a bath of balls,
the sandpit or a pretend tea party
it is my most pleasurable duty
to look, to feel, to see, to hear,
to taste, to smell and ENJOY
A day in our Toddler class

Just Arrived
Good morning! Sawubona! Goeiemôre!Can’t wait for today! May I rub some yoghurt into your hair again?

Magic Carpet
The magic carpet in our class is our ticket to anywhere and everywhere. We just have to start the ride …

Yum-yum
Sorry, I can’t help if it’s finger lickin’ good! Mom, no need for a lunchbox, we have three meals at school.

Ring Time
Don’t ask what we’ve learnt, ask what we’ve played! My favourite: Head-and-shoulders-knees-and-toes

Our Superheroes

Our Playground
So much space, so much to do, so little time … we have to get on our bikes and conquer the world

Messy Play
My teacher says messy play is good for me. I choose to believe her, because this is soooo much fun!

Positive Energy
In my class:
We incorporate all your skills in new learning areas – from Mathematics and Science to Language and Technology. We do a lot of art and learn so much about so many things whilst painting, constructing, cutting and conversing. We plan teddybear picnics and reading parties, so much fun!
Our Pre-Primary School
Pre-primary activities are playful ways of discovering our fascinating world, and developing our clever little minds. Our pre-primary department is big enough to keep school exciting, but small enough to ensure carefully monitoring by our teachers. Some activities are, of course, just for fun. Since we learn through play, our playground provides age appropriate activities and equipment suitable to children of all ages in our pre-primary phase. Our annual concert is a highlight for everyone involved.

Our Pre-primary teachers


Jungle Tots Class and Pandaklas (2-3 years old)
Teacher: Bianca Diedericks
Class Assistant: Matshabu Rapati
Here we DISCOVER!
My shoes are purple and so’s the door
Now there’s purple paint on the floor …
But teacher smiles – it’s just messy play
That’s how we learn and go forward on our way
Triangles, jungle gyms, playmates, construction,
Insects, slides, sounds and more action
That which we explored throughout our Honeypot year
We now discover more in depth and it becomes clear


Dragonfly Class and Eendjieklas (3-4 year)
Teacher: Chrisstel Ras
Class Assistant: Lauretta Masetloa
Here we DEVELOP!
I play alongside Emma, I know she is there
My class and I start to share adventures where
We can finally cut with a pair of scissors!
And make circles all by ourselves
Sing songs, memorise rhymes
We feel like the cleverest elves


Treasure Cave Class (4-5 year)
Teacher: Catrien Tempelhoff
Teacher: Dienie Wilters
Here we IMAGINE and CREATE
In class as a group we invent new worlds
With lego and dino’s, Barbies and twirls
We are comfortable with the skills we display
Holding a paint brush and creating with clay
Through play and more play
We are ready to learn in a more structured way
Our Grade R Classes
Our Grade R’s are considered to be the leaders of the pre-primary school. Although much of their learning is still through play, it becomes more structured and formal. The focus is not only on teaching them to read and write in this early stage of the foundation phase, but to gain the confidence to learn and to realise that the world is their oyster –anything is possible. As always, we learn through play, while we introduce more skills in challenging new ways.
In Grade R our children start to prominently develop two life skills: problem-soving and debating. We ask questions, consider many answers and learn from early on that there are two sides to every story.
Our main aim is to instil confidence and a sense of achievement in each individual as a foundation to future learning. Every year, we see our Grade R’s progress to primary school with eager confidence and continue to learn with success.

Grade REB
Teacher: Erica Botha
English Class
Teacher Erica’s Super Power:
Philanthropy
In my class:
All a child ever want, all they ever need, is someone who believes in them. Someone who says: I know you can, of course you can. I will guide with love and patience, with a deeply rooted respect for the fact that every child is different. My classroom will always be my happy place.

Grade REE
Teacher: Euline Coetzee
English Class
Teacher Euline’s Super Power:
Self esteem booster
In my class:
Through creativity and art I can help my class to develop the skills to observe with a keen eye and ear. A child who has mastered the skill of observing with all senses, develops a deeper understanding of life.
I regard myself as a facilitator in my class – you know how to find your own solutions to the problems I pose en you love the process! In my class children must learn to think for themselves. This is the start of your conscious cognitive journey!
