At two of the projects (Craighall and Soweto / Eldorado Park) we also cater for able-bodied preschool children as part of the Inclusion Programme. The sizes of the classes are kept down to a minimum with an average of 10 children per class to ensure individual attention.
Day care programmes run from 8:00 am until 1:00 pm with an Aftercare programme available at the Craighall and Elsburg centres. The Gauteng Department of Education school terms are followed. The children are supplied with two nutritious meals daily. School fees are determined by affordability of parents/families and a bursary facility is available should the family meet the required criteria.
All classes are managed by a practitioner with a minimum qualification of level 4 Early Childhood Development Qualification.
Therapeutic Services
Special Therapeutic assessments and regular input into the child's daily programme is provided by a Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist, Speech Therapist and Social Worker.
Therapeutic seating and positioning aids maximise the impact of the programmes. Adapted equipment aids the development of independence in each child and is an integral part of the programme.
