The School

The school is based in our home in the heart of Newlands. The aim is to provide children between the ages of two and four with a fun, safe, happy and loving environment where they can learn through play. Nurturing their imaginations through play allows your child to develop a sense of adventure as they grow their language, emotional, creative and social skills. Each child is viewed as an individual and encouraged to develop to their full potential at their own pace.

Teacher

I started my career as a dancing teacher, I then taught Monkeynastix for 7 years at various schools in the southern suburbs. It was at this point that I found my true passion, teaching young children and seeing them develop on a daily basis. I was the teacher at Sprouts, a small home based play school in Claremont for 5 years followed by a years internship in Applied Behavior Analysis. Teaching is not a job for me, it's a part of who I am.
