Our School
Our school is divided in the Junior Section (3 months to 2years) Middle section (2 – 4 years) and Senior Section (Grade RR & R 5-6 years). Each section has its own entrance, classrooms and playgrounds.
Philosophy
Every teacher has a dedicated full-time class assistant, actively involved in every aspect of your child’s school day. All our teachers, support staff, and our cook are certified in CPR and First Aid, ensuring a safe environment for your child. We are dedicated to the best care, attention, and love to every child. Children are treated with respect, and we give them clear and consistent boundaries. A child who is respected and taught self-discipline is more likely to respect and care for others and practice self-discipline. Assertive discipline methods are followed in each group. This will be explained to you in detail when you enroll your child. Everyone is treated according to his/her personality and individual attention is given throughout.
Times
We offer half day as well as full day care and we are open daily between 06h30 and 17h30. The school gates open at 06h30 sharp. No earlier arrangements can be made as the staff have to first open the school and make sure it’s ready for the little ones. Half day ends at 14h00 and half day children must be picked up no later than this.
We request that you have your child at school by 08h00 so we can start our program without interruptions. All children should be fetched by 17h30.
The Grade R class starts at 07h30 every morning. Parents are requested to make sure that their children are on time.
Themes
We follow a different theme every week. The relevant theme is on the Year Planner for your information. Let your child tell you about the theme and encourage your child to bring items for the theme table in his/her classroom. The teacher will look after it and hand it back to you by the end of the theme. Artwork is done every day and filed in their artwork files. Art files are sent home at the end of each term. Baking is done every second week. Please remember to take the baking on these days!
Meals
The school provides a cooked breakfast, cooked lunch and one snack per day. Parents supply a small snack for mid-morning (toddlers to Grade R) or mid-afternoon (babies and pre-toddlers). Kindly refer to the list of requirements with regards to do’s and don’ts. A weekly menu is on the Information board for your information.
Holidays
We are open during all school holidays but close Friday the week before the 16th of December. We re-open on the second Wednesday in January each year. Holiday care at the end of the year may be offered by some of the staff members. This will be advertised in newsletters during the school year. Payment for December holiday care is separate from school fees and is paid to the teachers directly.
We do not offer holiday care for older siblings and no arrangements in this regard will be made.
Reports
We hand out written reports at the end of each term. This process is aimed at providing you with insight into your child’s development during the 3 months of assessments. Assessments are done continuously every week. You will have ample opportunities to discuss your child’s progress with his/her teacher.
Children are never left unsupervised
All staff are CPR and FIRST AID trained
An incident register is completed every day
Our premises are monitored by CCTV cameras.
The safety of our children is very important to us
The safety and security of your child is as much your responsibility as it is ours. We have employed a full-time guard and all our gates are controlled by an automatic lock system.
With enrolment, you will receive the access code to gain access through the gates. It is your responsibility to memorise the code. The code will be changed periodically and you will be informed accordingly. Please help us by always making sure the gates close properly behind you. If it does not, please bring it to our attention.
Parents are furthermore requested to sign their children in and out daily for control purposes. We do not allow children to go home with friends or any other person if specific arrangements have not been made with the school. Should you need to make arrangements, kindly contact the school on 011 793 2120 or email us on office@kidzinc.co.za.
