Our teachers also have one or more assistants, depending on the age group and number of children in the class. By having a limited number of children in class, our teachers can give each one the individual care and attention they need to flourish and feel loved. Our daily programme is packed with a variety of physical and cognitive activities where children play while they learn. We also offer additional, optional extramural activities as additional opportunities to strengthen focused areas or hone certain skills.

As a pre-primary school in Kleine Kuppe, Windhoek, these extramural activities are tailored to the interests of you and your family.

Our aftercare service is available at an additional cost, as stipulated on our fees letter. Children are accommodated in safe classrooms and playgrounds, and the fees include a freshly prepared meal for lunch, as well as safe supervision and limited homework support. 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. 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. When enrolling with us, you indicate which individuals have permission to pick up your children school. Should you ever need to make alternative arrangements, you can download a pickup consent form from our website, send it to the school, and send your child’s teacher a message informing them of the arrangement. 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.
