Early drop-off times

We accommodate working parents with a challenging commute by opening early in the morning. Children are welcomed by their teachers or teacher’s assistants and enjoy some free play before the preschool programme starts later on.

Aftercare

We have an aftercare service that keeps children safe until late in the afternoon, and the fees include lunch. Children remain safely in their classrooms, or on the playgrounds, until you can pick them up. We also have strict pickup protocols to ensure that only authorised individuals collect children in the afternoons.

Teachers have assistants

Our classes are divided by age and each teacher has one or more assistants, depending on the group and the number of children in the class. This ensures that each child gets the care and attention they need, and that they can optimally benefit from our preschool programme. There are often more assistants for the younger ones and babies, as they have needs that are unique from any other age groups.

Teachers have first-aid training

Children wholeheartedly run, play, climb, and jump, which may sometimes lead to minor bumps and bruises. This is why our teachers are trained in first aid. Please note that national regulations prohibit teachers from dispensing any medicine, even over-the-counter or herbal tonics, without a valid prescription signed by a medical doctor. Therefore, when a child needs medicine during the day, our first-aid officers or nurse dispense medicine in class only if a valid prescription is provided.

Closed during school holidays

We are closed during regular school holidays, as well as regular public holidays and long weekends. Holiday care could be arranged based on interest. View our calendar for 2023 and 2024 to discover when these holidays would be.

Adjustment reports and parent meetings

Our teachers form close relationships with each child, which allows them to know the individual adjustment and progress of your child. At the end of each term, we issue an adjustment or progress report, and have a one-on-one with each parent. Your child’s day is also recorded in a communication book, which is sent home each day. This includes meals eaten, drinks consumed, naps taken, emotional state, and more.

Indoor and outdoor play areas

Children learn by interacting with the world around them. That is why our preschool classrooms themselves are considered to be inanimate teachers of sorts. They are designed to allow maximum room for play and movement while being stimulating on a visual and tactile level. By involving the classroom in the learning experience, your child is engaged in early childhood development even when simply enjoying some lounge time with their friends.

Our outdoor play areas include jungle gyms, playhouses, cycle tracks, a shaded sandpit, and more. These areas are designed to encourage physical play, and generally have synthetic grass to prevent allergic reactions. Additional safety measures are taken on sunny days.

Have a look

The King’s School has a nursery school in Linbro Park, Sandton, that provides high-quality early childhood development for children from 4 years to Grade R. Our classes are divided by age, and we carefully control the number of children per class to ensure that they are all cared for and entertained. Our internally developed pre-primary programme engages inherent curiosity and love of play, while supporting their well-being all-round. We also form part of the Curro school group, and have early drop-off times and aftercare options.
