Curro Wilgeheuwel | Preschool | Roodepoort

A Nurturing Start in Wilgeheuwel

Located in Wilgeheuwel, Roodepoort, Curro Wilgeheuwel Preschool provides a safe, stimulating, and high-quality environment for children aged 3 to 5 years. We carefully control our class sizes to ensure that every child receives the personal care and entertainment they need to feel at home. To support busy families, we offer early drop-off times and include nutritious meals prepared in our on-site kitchen in our school fees.

Development Without Pressure: The ELDA Approach

We believe that children flourish when they are encouraged, not pressured. As part of the Curro school group, our programme is built around Early Learning and Development Areas (ELDAs) rather than strict milestones. This ensures that your child is supported to develop at their own unique pace, spending the day playing and being creative under the guidance of dedicated teachers.

Our holistic curriculum focuses on:

• Identity and Belonging: Fostering personality, friendship, and the spirit of sharing.
• Physical Well-being: Developing balance, movement, and safety awareness.
• Communication: Enhancing speech, listening, and understanding.
• Creativity: Encouraging imagination through drawing, painting, dancing, and play.
• Mathematics: Exploring shapes, sizes, time, and counting.
• Learning About the World: Exploring and understanding the environment around them.

Core Values for Future Leaders

We believe that a good education forms the basis for responsible citizenship and leadership. Our preschool programme is built on four value pillars that our teachers model daily:

• Child-friendliness: Creating a welcoming, safe space.
• Positive Discipline: Guiding behaviour with constructive methods.
• Christian Values: Instilling strong ethics and morals.
• Creative Thinking: Encouraging innovative problem-solving.

Engaging Activities and Language

Our daily programme is packed with physical and cognitive activities where children learn through play. We also introduce learners to isiZulu through engaging songs, rhymes, and greetings, broadening their cultural horizons from a young age.

Extramural Activities and Group Benefits

To further enrich your child's experience, we offer a variety of optional extramural activities hosted by external tutors on our premises. Tailored to the interests of our Wilgeheuwel community, these allow children to hone specific skills in a familiar environment.

Additionally, joining our family connects you to the wider Curro network. Learners enjoy preferential placement when applying to other schools in the group, such as Curro Rivonia and Curro Oakdene.

A Nurturing Foundation in Wilgeheuwel

Situated in Wilgeheuwel, Roodepoort, Curro Wilgeheuwel Preschool provides a safe and stimulating environment for children aged 3 to 5 years. We carefully control the number of children per class to ensure that every little one is cared for, entertained, and given the personal attention they need to thrive. Our Curro-designed programme engages your child's inherent curiosity and love of play, fostering their well-being in a warm, age-appropriate setting.

Support for Working Parents

We understand that modern parenting schedules are demanding. To support you, we offer early drop-off times and a comprehensive holiday-care programme. Because working parents don’t get school holidays, our preschool remains open during these breaks at no additional cost. While the focus shifts to extra fun activities, we ensure that early childhood development continues year-round. We are closed only for a short, specified period during December and January.

Nutritious, On-Site Catering

Healthy bodies fuel healthy minds. Our school fees include a wholesome breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack. All meals are freshly prepared daily in our on-site kitchen and delivered directly to the classrooms. We take great care to accommodate allergies and dietary requirements, ensuring that every meal is safe and suitable for your child.

Prioritising Health and Safety

Your child’s safety is our top priority. Because active children love to run, climb, and jump, we have rigorous health measures in place:

• On-Site Nurse: We have a registered nurse on-site to attend to medical needs during the day.
• First Aid Training: All our teachers are trained in first aid to handle minor bumps and bruises immediately.
• Medication Policy: We adhere strictly to national regulations. We will only dispense medicine in class if provided with a valid prescription signed by a medical doctor.
