We are officially open!!
“In 2011 I was honoured by the greatest gift from God. I became a mom to an amazing loving and caring baby boy. As time lapsed, I have been richly blessed with two other equally awesome young hearts.”
It has been a struggle to find a learning institution that perfectly fits my childrens’ highly developed emotions and intellect; a pre-school I could regard as a nurturing home with the disposition to provide a stimulating but relaxed and secure environment for my children.
By the grace of God and with the support of a loving family we have succeeded and have opened such a place! Huggles Snuggles Daycare, a place in which your child will develop physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually. Graduating our future leaders fully prepared for the growing challenges of school. We aim to instil within our children bravery, respect and humility ~ “Forti Nihil Difficilius” (Nothing is too difficult for the brave). Our goal and passion is to nurture independence through holistic education, in a structured caring environment. Collectively our teachers are fully qualified and not limited to being ECD registered.
Being a Mom and Teacher is the most satisfying profession. The salary is non-existent but the joy and pride of having our children reach their full potential is weightier than any currency. We achieve this through being Patient, Approachable, Enthusiastic, Articulate, Strongly-learned and a Solid educater. We are fully-hearted.
Our amazing teachers are well versed and trained in child development; allowing them to assist the fast-growing children to develop and nurture their full potential. Our learning environment is appropriately enhanced with activities and structures necessary for the learners to not only develop this potential, but to obtain the necessary fundamental skills required to survive and conquer!
