The school is a sprawling thatched house that speaks to our South African roots, it boasts warm and sunny classrooms that are nestled on 2 acres of property. The classrooms are surrounded by large nature rich gardens for the children to run around in. We have carefully selected outdoor equipment that encourages boundless gross motor play.

Education
Developmentally appropriate lesson plans with exciting new themes for each week. Our Play-Based curriculum taps into the eight core developmental areas of each child. Ensuring that we excite through PLAY on a daily basis. A typical day at Little 5 makes sure to touch on all of the below:
Literacy – “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you will go.”- Dr Seuss. Reading is a lifelong lesson. It encourages our children to be creative and ponder all the places they will go! At Little 5 we make sure to read to our children every day. A minimum of twice day.
Songs and Movement – “I will teach music here or there, I will teach music everywhere.”- Dr Seuss. Incorporating music and dance makes our teaching come alive. Making education exciting and fun.
Numeracy, emotional, fine motor and problem-solving skills – we have a wide variety of toys, games and puzzles to tap into the above essential skills. Stimulating maths, writing, spelling and critical thinking skills through PLAY.
Creative Work – “Oh, the thinks you can think!”- Dr Seuss. Creative art is a key focus of our curriculum and encourages our children to let their imaginations soar. Our children create art on a daily basis, allowing their creative juices to flow through PLAY.
Gross Motor Activities – “Kid, You’ll MOVE mountains!”- Dr Seuss. At Little 5 we have carefully selected outdoor equipment to entice and encourage physical movement. Our playgrounds are nature rich with loads of real grass to roll around on.
Coffee Moms
Coffee Moms was created, so that Moms can meet and socialise with other Moms from our area. This is not a Playgroup, as the main focus is for Moms to chat and meet other Moms, while playing with their little ones. Moms can then book playdates and form their own playgroups if desired.
Moms and Tots playgroups focus on activities between Mom and baby, whereas Coffee Moms focuses on socialising. Only for Moms with babies under 2 years old.
We do not charge a fee for this innovative idea, but bookings are essential.
What do we serve: Water, tea, coffee and biscuits.
When: Every Friday.
Time: Between 10am and 12pm.
Where: On the grassy playground – weather permitting – or indoors next to the cozy fireplace.
