We have close ties with the South African Montessori Association (SAMA) and the Association for the Education and Care of Young Children (AECYC) which keeps us up to date with the latest developments in education.

The Montessori materials provide learners the opportunity to discover concepts concretely before they enter formal education in primary school.
We cover the aims set out for Grade R  in the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) and our progress reports are set accordingly.
We assure lots of individual attention to help your child reach his/her full potential and to obtain school readiness - emotionally, physically and intellectually.
Parents are often referred to our school by teachers of primary schools in the area due to the high standard of our learners in their schools.

Ons is by die South African Council of Educators (SACE) geregistreer vanwe� die feit dat ons oor beide Montessori en tradisionele onderwys kwalifikasies beskik. (Montessori Diploma 3 - 6, BA/THOD, National Diploma in Education en �n Advanced Certificate in Education.)
Ons werk in noue verband saam met die Suid Afrikaanse Montessori Vereniging (SAMA) en die Vereniging vir Voorskoolse Opvoeding en Sorg (VVOS) sodat ons op hoogte kan bly met die nuutste verwikkelinge in die onderwys. U kind word nie net in die finale voorskoolse jaar skoolgereed gemaak nie, maar word by Zonkie voorberei vir skool vandat hy/sy al as 3 - jarige by die 3 tot 6 jaar klas instap. Die Montessori- apparaat bied leerders die geleentheid om op �n konkrete manier konsepte te kan ontdek voordat hulle met formele ondewys hoef te begin in die laerskool.
Ons dek al die leerdoelstellings vir Graad R soos uiteengesit in die  Nasionale kurrikulum- en assesseringsbeleidverklaring (NKV/CAPS) Ons rapporte word daarvolgens opgestel.
Ons verseker baie individuele aandag vir elke Zonkie om hom/haar te help om sy/haar volle potential te kan bereik en om emosioneel, intellektueel en fisies skoolgereed te kan word.
Ouers word dikwels na ons skool verwys deur onderwysers by laerskole in die omgewing vanwe� die ho� standaard van ons leerlinge in hulle skole.
