YOUTH DAY CELEBRATIONS
To celebrate youth day we invited local school learners to participate in a holiday program to entertain our kids while "secretly" teaching them skills and life lessons. This was a win win oportunity as the school learners are required to do community service. We had a very active, fun-filled and busy week of science experiments, sewing, woodwork, baking, crafts, self defence and fitness, magic tricks, skateboarding and more.
Youth Day Gifts
Thank you to the team from Doves for the donations and remembering the children this youth day.
A New Edition
You are loved and cherished baby girl. We will ensure you have the best care and opportunities to fulfill your life's purposes.
First Aid Training
As careful as we can be, accidents leading to fractures, wounds and other health problems that need to be handled quickly before emergency service providers arrive, do sometimes occur. Providing staff with first aid training ensures that there is proper risk assessment and management of emergencies in our home and that minor injuries are seen to with ease and competence.
Five Senses
We use them every day to get to know and understand the world around us. What are they? Our 5 senses! Seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching — help us to learn about and enjoy our surroundings. Doctor Henelle Swart and friends hosted a fun day for the kids to explore their 5 senses. What a lovely morning of fun and learning!
