The Best Early Learning Centre

Early Learning Centre offers a safe, clean, stimulating, entertaining and recreational facility to promote the development of young children.

The main objective is to appeal to the cognitive, emotional, physical, special and social development of this population. The focus on the wellbeing of our children to participate in safe, clean exciting places becomes more important as the world around us becomes less stable.

Grade 000

We introduce the little ones into the social environment where they meet their peers. The little ones take important steps towards independence while teaching them vital social skills.

Grade RR

We prepare the little ones for Grade 00 through a balanced, daily programme and play. This incorporates large muscles skills, social emotional development, and listening skills.

Grade R

It is the year that our children are prepared for the exiting journey into 'big' school. The activities done in Grade R is excellent foundation for coping with school and enjoying learning.
