DE WIJNLANDEN KIDS

De Wijnlanden Kids (DWK) Playschool opened its doors in January 2013 as a non-profit organisation registered at the Western Cape Education Department. Situated on De Wijnlanden Estate, it provides a safe environment for our children and has the great advantage of being within walking distance from home. In 2022, the De Wijnlanden Estate HOA permitted children residing at Aan De Wijnlanden Estate to attend DWK.

DWK uses both mediums of English and Afrikaans and welcomes children from 2 to 5 years of age. The school provides an excellent curriculum that encourages every child to develop to their full potential, while promoting a balance between play and learn. General feedback takes place on a daily/weekly basis via WhatsApp, while formal assessments are performed on a bi- annual basis where parents receive a detailed progress report (June and December).

OUR VALUES

To create an exclusive, estate-based pre-school where children can learn and play within a stimulating and safe environment that serves as a ‘home away from home’ combined with the structure of schooling.

  • Independent and creative thinking
  • Positive discipline
  • A child-friendly environment
  • Pursuit of excellence
  • Christian ethos

OUR GOAL

At DWK, we believe that we need to function as an extension of each family, sharing love and concern for all children and working together to build a solid foundation for their happiness and success. We want to offer ‘peace of mind’ to each parent by providing a high standard of childcare and early education, along with a structured programme.
