Tree Tops Montessori in Midrand held its annual school concert as well as a graduation recently.
Principal of the school, Jenny de Kock, said Tree Tops is committed to encouraging children to believe in themselves as they enjoy singing, dancing, performing and speaking in front of a live audience, which builds their confidence naturally.

The Grade R children played a role in preparing for the concert as they wrote the script, helped with choreography and ideas.
One of the parents, Jayshree Pather said, “The Tree Tops Montessori concert was such a delight to all that attended. The highlight for me was that there has recently been the addition of smaller children under three years of age to Tree Tops and, due to their young age, they didn’t fully grasp that they were not supposed to participate in all the performances. They decided to join in all the acts when they knew either the words or actions.”
Then it was time for the Grade R graduation and Tree Tops Award Ceremony, the children’s rendition of the national anthem brought tears to many eyes and then the joy on their faces were witnessed by proud parents as they were each awarded a certificate of recognition.
“We would like to wish all our Grade R graduates everything of the best as they head off towards their primary school years. We know that they are well prepared to face all the challenges that Grade 1 has to offer and we will follow their future successes eagerly,” said De Kock.
