The year is divided into 4 terms of 10 weeks each with one class per week. It is roughly scheduled to fit in with the school terms. Each class is divided into different activities that stimulate different areas of the child's development. These include gross and fine motor skills, ball play, music, parachute, art/creativity and free play. The lesson plans are worked out in such a way that a child will not be doing the same activity twice. He/She will do a similar type of activity during a term (example threading) but the objects used for the activities will be different. The reason that the same type of activity is done more that once is because children learn by repetition. But we want to keep the child stimulated in the different activities which is why we change the objects that they use.

We encourage children to learn and experience, so a part of the program is messy play (normally art). We therefore encourage the parents not to dress the children in their Sunday best, as we believe that a child that gets dirty, is a child that has had fun and has learned at the same time.

The classes are also a nice place for parents to meet other parents with children of the same age group. It is nice to share ideas and find solutions to problems, what other parents have found to work for them in a specific case.

There will be classes in both the mornings and afternoons as well as on Saturdays. This is specifically there for the working mom who cannot get the afternoon off or for dad. We encourage the dads to attend as it gives them some time to play and bond with their child. Some of these classes will also be presented by a father (Tiaan).

DADS Please come along or bring your child if mom can't. This is not only for mothers but for the dads as well. You can also have fund with your child.
