ALBERTON-As part of a series showcasing the importance of pre-schools in the development of children, ABS productions, under management of Anthonie Bougas, is visiting 24 pre-schools all over the country and Kinder College in New Redruth is one of them.
On June 24, Anthonie and his team visited the pre-school and made a video of the children singing and taped little snippets of each child speaking. In the evening, the children performed a show for their parents and this footage will be incorporated into an episode of Kleuterzone. Kleuterzone is a Christian based series which focuses on toddlers and young children in South Africa. Each episode features a different pre-school in a different city or town.
Anthonie says they have been to every town you can imagine, from Dundee to Middleburg and Cape Town, to film the 24 schools in hopes of showcasing some of the best pre-schools in the country. He believes that pre-schools play a crucial part in the development of every child and helps to prepare children for school and their lives to come. This is the second series of Kleuterzone and it will air in August on KykNet, channel 144 on DSTV.
Kinder College as it stands today is four years old and its owners, Gerald and Amalia Howard and Lizanne Sharp bought it as a family business. Kaeleigh van Zyl has been the headmistress for just over a year now. The school operates in both Afrikaans and English and also has after-care facilities.
