about us
Who we are
Our school offers a vibrant, fun, and educational environment where holistic education is our priority.
We strive to equip all our scholars with, not only, skills to succeed academically but also believe that instilling confidence, self-belief and igniting a child’s imagination are the skills that will equip our children and set them up for a life of success.
It is our opinion that each child is an individual with unique talents and gifts, it is our goal to recognise these and nurture and grow them to set our children up for the best possible version of themselves.
Little Pandas believe in building a community of parent, child, and teacher. Whereby parents are informed on a regular basis of their child’s progress.
By offering a stimulating and safe environment our children are not just taken care of but are also educated into well rounded individuals demonstrating dignity, respect and are given all the tools needed to succeed.
We are a multicultural school that uses Christian principles and teachings in our curriculum.
Drop-off and Pick-up Policy
For safety and security reasons it is compulsory for all parents to sing in a child during drop-off and pick-up. A strict COVID-19 policy would apply should this be necessary. (Parents will be notified) NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE! Should you require for your child to be picked by someone else, please notify the school in writing.
Parent and Teachers
Since we wish to share in your child’s life and make his/her stay at the school a pleasant and fruitful one, please feel free to discuss his/her strengths and concerns with us. In this way we learn to know and understand your child better. Should you experience any problems, please do not hesitate to contact us, since we, and not the public, are best geared to assist you in remedying the situation. Teachers cell numbers will not be shared with parents. Parents are required to email the principal at littlepandaspreschool@yahoo.com; should they have any concerns.
Reports
The main objective for Grade 0 is school readiness. The report will indicate how the child reacts in a ’CLASS SITUATION’. Pupils are mostly unaware of the observation procedures followed by the teachers. Observation takes place throughout the term and is intensely done. The report is an indication of the child’s developmental stage.
For the other age groups, parents will also receive reports for their child’s milestones every term.
“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these”
-Matthew 19:14-
Sunstroke
Protection
While South Africa is blessed with an excellent climate, our summers demand that we employ protective measures to prevent our children from the dangers of exposure to the sun’s rays. All our children will be required to wear caps and apply sunscreen while outside. NO HAT! NO PLAY!
Illness
Pupils should be healthy when they attend school. Parents are requested to inform the teacher of any health problems or allergies that the child may have. If your child has a cough or a cold, please keep him/her at home as this will speed his/her recovery and prevent him/her from spreading the illness to the other children. Parents will be contacted if their child becomes ill at school. Please advise the school should your child stay away from school for any reason by SMSing or phoning the school. Our sick bay allows for short term supervision should a child get ill at school. It is of utmost importance that learners do not attend school if they are ill.
Anti-Waste
material
We are always in need of empty boxes, cotton reels, bottle and milk tops, silver and computer paper, bits of wool, buttons, material, old magazines, remnants, match and cigarette boxes, wallpaper, and wood offcuts, etc., for the various activities at school. Should you have any of these items, please offer these to our school.
