Earlybird Educare provides quality where you need it most: equipping your child with the tools they need to thrive at school and beyond.

Earlybird is a social enterprise which is building a network of high-quality Early Childhood Care and Education ('educare') centres across South Africa. We use multiple delivery channels in order to be able to provide children from across the socioeconomic spectrum with access to our offering through nest centres, flock centres and Blue Door Educare Centres.

Our Educational Approach


Earlybird uses a supported play-based approach that includes a combination of (child-led) free- choice periods and (teacher-led) targeted small-group and whole-class games and activities, arranged according to fortnightly themes and three broad learning and development areas.

Our approach is grounded in social constructivist theory.


We pride ourselves on our commitment to examining new evidence and using it to identify areas we can adapt our approach to ensure we are truly preparing children for success in the 21st century.

Thus, while Earlybird's model shares the same core elements as the five well-known social-constructive preschool (Montessori, Waldorf, High/Scope, Froebel, and Reggio Emilia) approaches we have intentionally chosen not to buy-in to a single "brand", rather focusing on integrating proven drivers of quality in early childhood care and education.

A source of peace... Every parent knows the worry that plagues you when looking for a daycare especially when your child is still young. Earlybird Educare gives me the comfort I need as a parent knowing my child is in a safe and loving environment. The staff are always so cheerful and we know it's not easy taking care of children that cry and throw tantrums everyday; worse when they are still learning to communicate, i can honestly say they do a great job and find fun ways to make school enjoyable for the little ones . And don't get me started on the updates - they give you weekly communication. Great overall

The lesson plans are well thought out and the teachers are caring and passionate about their jobs. If you want your child to grow, thrive and feel loved, then you can't go wrong with any of the EarlyBird centres. Definitely the best start to the beginning of you little ones schooling career.

My son has been with Earlybird The Parks for 4 years now and to say I'm happy with the school is an understatement. You really can't go wrong with Earlybird, regardless of the centre.

Really high quality educare provider. The best teachers with great training, fantastic facilities, and a world-class curriculum. The children at Earlybird are well cared-for, encouraged to be confident in themselves, and supported in their development in every area.

Earlybird Educare is a gem of a preschool. The teachers are warm, professional, and deeply invested in each child’s growth. The curriculum is rich, engaging, and designed to build strong foundations through play, STEAM activities, and social-emotional learning. The environment is safe, inclusive, and full of joy. You can truly feel the love and care that goes into every part of the day. Highly recommended for any family looking for a nurturing and future-focused early learning centre.

I'm amazed at the variety and quality of the daily learning activities the kids engage in at Earlybird. Such a brilliant preschool, I wish I had gotten this kind of head start in life when I was young!
