Let your child grow through play @Sandton Kids
Parents that live and work in Sandton will be thrilled to discover @Sandton Kids creche, which has launched a holiday care program for the upcoming summer holidays in addition to its regular term offering.
In the heart of Sandton you will find @Sandton-Kids, a safe and nurturing environment for kids between the ages of 4 months and 5 years. The creche is located within the Acsiopolis Precinct on Benmore Road which is also home to @Sandton-Apartments, @Sandton-Hotel and @Deli.
“We want to make learning fun,” said Clarissa Louw, the head of @Sandton Kids. “Kids that attend our creche will have access to educational toys that allow them to learn through play, as well as an outside play area. Their activities will cater for their specific age group.”
The Nuts and Bolts
@Sandton-Kids provides a convenient childcare support option not only for residents of @Sandton-Apartments but also for parents who work in the Sandton area – being in close proximity to your child’s school means no pressurised drive through traffic to get from the office to fetch your child after work too. The creche is open from 06h30 to 18h00 during the week, with half day and full day options available.
@Sandton-Kids learners are spoiled with delicious, nutritious meals, all cooked on-site by the in-house chef. Included in the daily rate are breakfast, lunch, two snacks and healthy juice and water throughout the day. The @Sandton-Kids app means parents can communicate any dietary requirements or food preferences. Teachers will also keep parents up to date with how their child’s day is going through the app.
The four classrooms are designed with distinct age groups in mind and each has a corresponding play area equipped in an age-appropriate way. Meals are included in the monthly fees, allowing busy parents the peace of mind that their children are nurtured and nourished in a safe and secure environment.
Active Learning
The programme focuses on all six Early Learning and Development Areas (ELDAs) and is designed to keep kids engaged. @Sandton-Kids offers an early learning development curriculum called ‘Play Learn Win’, which is based on the NC Framework and ELDAS (Early Learning Developmental Areas), where children are encouraged to learn while playing. A lot of physical and concrete activities will take place, but each child will grow and learn at their own pace. Parents and guardians will receive a report at the end of each term to see how their little ones are doing.
Holiday Care Programme
Over the upcoming festive season, from 12 December to 6 January, @Sandton-Kids will be open from 6am – 6pm, with a fun-filled holiday programme that will keep children from 4 months to 11 years safely entertained!
Each day is themed, but activities will be tailored to the different ages of the group. Theme days include treasure hunts, rock painting, arts and crafts, baking and an indoor laser maze. There is a separate activity room for the older kids where they can watch age-appropriate movies, show their gaming skills on PlayStation or Nintendo Switch, read a book on e-readers, or enjoy other fun activities in their own supervised space.
The Holiday Care Programme will cost R250 per day, which includes breakfast, two snacks and lunch, and weekly rates of R650 for half day and R1 150 for full day if paid in advance. For the full timetable, visit the @Sandton-Kids website.
Child Minder Services
Parents can make use of the Child Minder Services at the @Sandton-Kids creche while exploring everything that the Acsiopolis Precinct has to offer. Should you require the services of a child minder over the weekend, make sure to book by no later than Thursday so that staff arrangements can be made, and meals ordered.
