School holiday programme keeps Mams learners busy
The children are fed and kept busy the whole day with games, board games, swimming and playing.
Mamelodi children will be kept busy with sports, arts, singing and fun-day events as part of a programme to remove them from danger during the school holidays.
Thandanani Drop Inn Centre’s school programme kicked off on Monday with lots of activities to keep children busy.
Mamelodi learners from the age of five are kept busy with fun activities.
Zoe Mahlangu of the centre said the team has teamed up with local stakeholders for the ongoing school holiday programme, which started on March 20 and is expected to end on April 3.
Mahlangu said the programme aims to keep children busy during the school holidays.
She said they have lined up several activities to keep them busy every day from 10:00 to 15:00.
“We have a sports day, arts, singing and fun day. Plus, this year we are also hosting our first ever Mr and Miss Thandanani Drop Inn during the school holiday programme.”
Mahlangu said after registration in the morning, they give all the children breakfast and also make sure they have a freshly cooked meal before going back to their loved ones.
The centre has a regular afternoon school programme, but the numbers have increased with parents bringing their children during the school holidays.
“The programme is aimed at looking after the children and feeding them for free while their parents are still at work.”
Parents are also expected to sign children in on a registration form in the morning and out when they fetch them in the afternoon.
The children are fed and kept busy the whole day with board games, swimming and playing.
To ensure the children’s safety at all times, the Mamelodi East CPF will be on board to monitor the situation.
There will be trips for children to visit heritage sites, museums and the botanical gardens.
