Squirrels Leap Play School has carefully created a learning environment that stimulates learning and independence.

A large part of our teaching choices and principles are Montessori based, this leads to a system of education which is both a philosophy of child development and a motivation for guiding such growth. It is based on two important developmental needs of children: 

• The need for freedom within limits.
• A carefully prepared environment which guarantees exposure to materials and experiences.

This system of education is designed to take full advantage of the child’s desire to learn and use his or her unique ability to develop their own capabilities. Our learning environment will help the child to develop physically, cognitively, socially and emotionally. Children choose their activities from open shelves with self-correcting materials and work in distinct work areas – on tables or on rugs on the floor. The practical life exercises enhance the development of task organization and cognitive order through care of self, care of the environment, exercises of grace and courtesy, and refinement of physical movement. The sensorial materials enable the child to order, classify and describe sensory impressions in relation, length, width, temperature, mass and colour.

The Montessori maths materials, through concrete manipulative lessons, allow the child to grasp the concepts of numbers, symbols, sequence, operations and memorizing basic facts.

The language work includes oral language development, written expression, reading, and the study of grammar, creative dramatics and children’s literature. Basic skills in writing and reading are developed through the use of sandpaper letters (loose alphabet letters) and various presentations, allowing children to effortlessly link sounds and symbols and to express their thoughts in writing and drawing.

School day and ages
Squirrels Leap Play School welcomes children from 2 to 5 years of age, slightly younger children will be considered after a trial period. Our school day starts at 8.30am and ends at 12.30pm, you are welcome to start dropping off from 8.15am. We run our school terms as per the Western Cape School Calendar.

Something special
For parents who require an extra hour until 1.30pm, we offer a “holding” facility at a small extra charge.

Because Squirrels Leap Play School and Simply Swimming swim school share the same property we are delighted to offer your child a weekly swimming lesson, the cost of which is included in your school fees. Regrettably this offer is only available to children 3yrs and older,this is purely for safety reasons. Swimming will start at the beginning of February and finish at the end of November.

During the July and December school holidays we offer special holiday programs, details are made available before the end of each term.

Holiday Clubs
At Squirrels Leap Play School we offer exciting and stimulating holiday clubs during the mid-year and end of year school holidays.Typically the club is a week long, but we are happy for your child to join us on any of the days during that week and you will be able to pay for the days you come.

We welcome all children from 20 months to 5 years of age or even a little bit older with prior arrangement. Siblings,friends or even children who don’t come to our school can join us and get involved, making, baking and creating awesome works of art in the kitchen, classroom and outside.

At no extra charge we have a medical and permanent disability insurance policy covering every child in the event of an accident.

Order, simplicity, beauty, a peaceful, loving atmosphere and enough room to move, was the inspiration behind our Montessori toddler environment.

Dr. Maria Montessori believed that every child, from the moment of birth is driven by an innate unconscious urge that drives the child towards independence. Each human child have the enormous potential to learn and thrive and to develop to their full potential through opportunities in a favourable environment.

By understanding child development one can tailor their environment according the needs and developmental level of each individual child and provide opportunities to explore, experiment and create thus helping the child fulfill their intellectual, spiritual, emotional, social and physical potential.

At Pinocchio Crèche, children are encouraged to develop and expand their appreciation and understanding of themselves, of others and of the world around them.

It is our aim to holistically groom a child with good social skills, a sense of self-esteem, problem-solving skills, creativity and a spiritual foundation.

School Readiness

Our school readiness program and play-based curriculum includes tools to equip parents to gradually help their children achieve self-sustained independence. Importantly, it also encourages parents to review previously achieved tasks, to help maintain their child’s proficiency.

Thank you for looking to “Rightstart Childcare” for your tiny tot. As our name suggests, we cater for the needs of children, basically between the one and three year age group.

We will be doing a curriculum with the children in the mornings:-
During the third year of childhood, the foundation for self-esteem, growth and development on many levels is laid down. The two year old child is ready for group interaction and stimulation, but still needs a lot of individual attention, affection and emotional security, all of which can be provided within a small group. 

It is a time when children are fascinated with the world around them and they will seek opportunities to express feelings and thoughts through speech and movement. The more opportunities children have to express themselves, the happier and healthier they’ll be. This is what we aim to give your child at Rightstart Child Care.

We also aim to provide a secure bridge between home and pre-school, so the playgroup is set up in a home-based environment. Through creative activites, stories, songs, games and lots of fun, your child will gradually be introduced to routine and structure within a group. This will make the adjustment to “big school” much easier. Being a “small” daycare facility, the group is small, each child is given the space to express their individuality.

It is our belief that applying lots of rules to children of this age, is counter-productive and also completely ineffective. We use positive reinforcement to encourage safelty, hygiene and basic good manners and we try lead by example. If or when conflict arises between children, we encourage the little ones to resolve things their own way, under supervision ,as far as is possible.If the conflict appears that it might become physical, we do intervene by helping the children to express their feelings verbally & encourage good manners in resolving the issue. If this proves ineffective, we adopt the “timeout” approach as a last resort (the child sits quietly for a period of one minute per year of age). This timeout period is not enforced as a punishment, but rather as a cooling off period for the little ones if squabbles arise. When it comes to enforcing the few house rules we have, we explain the natural consequences of actions and surprisingly enough, this usually works, as the child feels empowered for having been given a choice. Again the small numbers in the group, enables us to pre-empt many issues of conflict and this makes for a peaceful environment.

There will always be a rest period in the middle of the day for all the children, a nutritional meal at lunchtime, and then old fashioned play in the afternoons.

First day away from mom / home and here at our daycare facility is a big event in your little one’s life (and in yours) and how you handle it can make a big difference. Here are some tips to make things a little easier:-

•    On the way to Rightstart, chat to your child about where you are taking him / her and make sure that they understand why they are spending the day here while you go to work and that you will fetch them straight afterwards.

•   When you arrive at Rightstart, settle your child in briefly and then say goodbye firmly and cheerfully and say something to indicate that you will be back soon, eg, straight after work!

•   Try not to stay longer or hesiate if your child starts to cry ~ it’s important that you show your  child that there’s nothing to worry about and that you are confident that they will enjoy & have fun & be safe untill your return.

•   When you fetch your child, ask them to show you what they did during the day and encourage them to tell you about their day.

Rest assured your little one will settle in within a couple of weeks and will look forward to coming here each day!

If you have any further enquiries, please feel free to contact me.

I look forward to building a warm and secure relationship with you, your child and your family.
