CATERING FOR EVERY NEED
EXTENDED SERVICE BOUQUET AND SCHOOL DAY
Working parents are often stuck between a rock and a hard place. Today’s cost of living demands, almost without exception, that both parents work a full day. Dealing with the pressure of challenging careers, and then having to ensure enough time for quality homework or study time, and sports or art development in children create serious emotional and practical time-management conflict situations for today’s parents.
Our flexible service structures provide complete solutions, answering academic instruction as well as care and supervision needs, ensuring that parents can spend quality evening family time with their children, rest assured that the needs of their children have been met.

AFTERCARE SERVICES
- Nutritionally balanced lunch meal menus. Many of the children in our school, due to the demanding pace of life today, are with us for more hours during the day than they are at home. Often, the most important meal of a young child’s daily diet is eaten with us. Our Menu plans are therefore most carefully considered and special importance is attached to ensure balanced nutrition is achieved from all the food groups. The food is all freshly prepared and freshly cooked, and follow a Menu that has been approved by a qualified nutritionist.
- Extended hours of business: 06h30 to 18h00. We are open throughout the school holidays and only close from the 16th of December until a couple of days before the start the next academic year.
- Supervised homework class where learners can complete homework so that it need not be done in the evenings at home.
- A well-structured, engaging and fun holiday program.
