Safe Environment
About Us
We at The Little Schoolhouse preschool are dedicated to helping your children grow to their fullest potential in a creative, innovative and loving environment. Our qualified teachers and staff recognise that every child is unique and are passionate about giving each little learner the best possible head start in life, helping them develop into confident, capable and happy individuals.
We are a Christian-based preschool, nursery school and baby care centre in Roodepoort, providing a homely, loving, safe and secure environment for children from 3 months to Grade R.
At The Little Schoolhouse Educational Centre, we believe that the early years of a child’s life lay the foundation for their future. Our smaller classes allow us to give each child individual attention while encouraging their social, emotional, physical and intellectual development through meaningful learning experiences.
We proudly have two preschool branches in Roodepoort, offering the same caring approach to early childhood education, with different languages of instruction:
Helderkruin Branch – 12 Janine Avenue, Helderkruin: Offering teaching and learning in both English and Afrikaans.
Horison Branch – 24 Cutten Street, Horison: Offering teaching and learning in English only.
Our goal is simple: to provide a place where every child feels loved, valued and encouraged to reach their fullest potential.
