ABOUT THE SCHOOL:
Plums and Pips Playschool is an English and Afrikaans but more English, early child development centre for ages between 20 months old-4 year olds. We believe strongly in play at this young age but do have structured activities and follow a basic CAPS/ELDAS daily programme including baking, art and music activities. We usually have a theme we work around for a 2-week period. We go for walks on the farm. We go on two outings a term as well as the occasional tractor ride for birthdays. We do some plum picking on the farm in season and visits to our pigs on the farm. It is a Christian based school.
HOURS: 08:00- 13:00, Monday to Friday. The school opens each morning at 8am. You can drop your child off between 08:00 and 09:00 and pick up between 12:00-13:00.
TERMS AND HOLIDAYS
The school will be closed during South African Government school holidays as well as public holidays.
