Nursery school and creche

We are located in a lovely old house set in large leafy grounds with jungle gyms, sandpit, a swimming pool and many pets.
* Curriculum
We follow a Reggio inquiry based approach, characterised by long term child driven projects. We create ateliers as spaces to provoke children's exploration of different concepts such as art materials and light and water and textures. We offer a comprehensive Grade 0 programme that is linked to our Foundation Phase Approach

Foundation phase classes following the CAPS curriculum

We opened our Foundation Phase with a small Grade 1 class in 2017, growing to Grade 2 in 2018 and on to Grade 3. While we follow the CAPS curriculum, our learning programme is flexible, following the children's interests, and encouraging enquiry and creative thinking.

* Extra murals
Playball, Yoga and Junior Jive(music)form part of the core curriculum, while swimming, pottery and Zulu are offered at school as optional activities.

* Parent involvement
We appreciate and encourage parent involvement in the school and in the projects. Current parent run groups are the Vegetable Garden group, the African Languages group and the #SMF (Stereotypes Must Fall) group. We regularly hold observation days and meetings, and have fun family events like picnics and (the annual and much anticipated) camping at Mountain Sanctuary Park.

Aftercare

Aftercare is available from 1.00 pm to 4.30 pm daily. Children swim, play in the garden and enjoy story time.

Poco a Poco (Little by little)

We have a close relationship with this support and assessment service for under 8's and their families located in a cottage on our grounds

Kids holiday club

A holiday programme is run from 8.00 am to 1:00 pm during school holidays. It is open to Mimosa children and their siblings and friends under the age of 9 years.
