Our Centre focuses directly on academic and social welfare of all learners entering our doors. We are governed by an sgb( school governing body) and work within the framework of advancing the children at both Centres ( Rocklands, Mandalay). Management has a track record of working in the Western Cape Educational and early childhood development field. We currently have a spread of 6 staff members over the +- 55 learners from 18 months to 6 year old. We provide a stable breakfast and lunch with the various resources.

Academic advancement-We managed to implement different format of resources for learners and staff management to improve end of term results for the learners at the Centre. Both our Centres have their own facebook page( Rocklands and Mandalay),to keep the parents informed of the activities and progress.We currently have a big success rate in the use of the whats App broadcast tool with the parents. This platform we use for all meetings events and emergency communication.

  1. The part that caught my attention is how much the centre is already using simple technology to stay connected with parents. A WhatsApp broadcast may sound basic, but for sharing event details, progress updates and urgent information, it can be much more practical than expecting every parent to check a website. I also wonder how the requested tech classroom and interactive boards would change the daily learning experience for children aged 18 months to six years. For very young learners, the way technology is introduced probably matters more than having lots of devices.

  2. The part about using WhatsApp broadcasts for parents caught my attention. For an early childhood centre, keeping parents updated quickly can make a big difference, especially when there are events, meetings or urgent changes. I was also curious about the interactive boards and tech classroom, since introducing technology at such a young age needs the right balance with hands-on learning. It would be interesting to know how the staff are currently using digital tools during everyday classroom activities, and what works best for the younger learners.
