Our daily routine is designed to keep little minds and bodies active and happy. No wonder the kids are tired in the evenings.

T h e m e s
We have weekly themes aimed at teaching children about the world around them.
The themes are designed around the children’s daily lives (eg. I’m special, my family and pets), special occasions (eg. Easter and Christmas) as well as teaching them basic educational concepts (eg. colours, numbers and shapes).  

We have daily craft activities that fit with the theme.  These activites expose the children to different art mediums and help them develop their fine motor co-ordination.

Kiddi cove Plumstead 

60 Main Road, Plumstead 

Ages 3 months – 5 years 

Squirrels Leap Play School has carefully created a learning environment that stimulates learning and independence.

A large part of our teaching choices and principles are Montessori based, this leads to a system of education which is both a philosophy of child development and a motivation for guiding such growth. It is based on two important developmental needs of children: 

• The need for freedom within limits.
• A carefully prepared environment which guarantees exposure to materials and experiences.

This system of education is designed to take full advantage of the child’s desire to learn and use his or her unique ability to develop their own capabilities. Our learning environment will help the child to develop physically, cognitively, socially and emotionally. Children choose their activities from open shelves with self-correcting materials and work in distinct work areas – on tables or on rugs on the floor. The practical life exercises enhance the development of task organization and cognitive order through care of self, care of the environment, exercises of grace and courtesy, and refinement of physical movement. The sensorial materials enable the child to order, classify and describe sensory impressions in relation, length, width, temperature, mass and colour.

The Montessori maths materials, through concrete manipulative lessons, allow the child to grasp the concepts of numbers, symbols, sequence, operations and memorizing basic facts.

The language work includes oral language development, written expression, reading, and the study of grammar, creative dramatics and children’s literature. Basic skills in writing and reading are developed through the use of sandpaper letters (loose alphabet letters) and various presentations, allowing children to effortlessly link sounds and symbols and to express their thoughts in writing and drawing.

School day and ages
Squirrels Leap Play School welcomes children from 2 to 5 years of age, slightly younger children will be considered after a trial period. Our school day starts at 8.30am and ends at 12.30pm, you are welcome to start dropping off from 8.15am. We run our school terms as per the Western Cape School Calendar.

Something special
For parents who require an extra hour until 1.30pm, we offer a “holding” facility at a small extra charge.

Because Squirrels Leap Play School and Simply Swimming swim school share the same property we are delighted to offer your child a weekly swimming lesson, the cost of which is included in your school fees. Regrettably this offer is only available to children 3yrs and older,this is purely for safety reasons. Swimming will start at the beginning of February and finish at the end of November.

During the July and December school holidays we offer special holiday programs, details are made available before the end of each term.

Holiday Clubs
At Squirrels Leap Play School we offer exciting and stimulating holiday clubs during the mid-year and end of year school holidays.Typically the club is a week long, but we are happy for your child to join us on any of the days during that week and you will be able to pay for the days you come.

We welcome all children from 20 months to 5 years of age or even a little bit older with prior arrangement. Siblings,friends or even children who don’t come to our school can join us and get involved, making, baking and creating awesome works of art in the kitchen, classroom and outside.

At no extra charge we have a medical and permanent disability insurance policy covering every child in the event of an accident.

Shelanti’s vision is to provide learners with the opportunity to acquire the appropriate life skills so that they may become assertive, responsible and accountable members of society.

At Shelanti we strive to create an atmosphere of acceptance, mutual respect, creativity and dignity for all.

We are a school with an inclusive learning environment. Our aim is to provide an individual approach to all our students by focusing on their unique talents, aptitude and learning styles. We focus on the process of learning and celebrate each achievement, ensuring academic excellence. Shelanti follows and excels in the National curriculum (CAPS).

Upon enrolment, each learner’s brain preference is identified, using the tools formulated by the Neethling Brain Institute. These learning and student profiles are then considered in the teachers’ lesson plans to guarantee optimal learning for all. This tool then also ensures that our learners become Whole Brain learners who can adapt to any situation.

Fostering creativity is at the core of the learning process. The ability to think creatively is crucial to preparing our learners to succeed in any learning and working environment. We also focus on developing a resourceful home environment by equipping the parents with educational material.

Shelanti recognises that each learner is an individual with a unique emotional profile. Without emotional nurturing, no learning can take place. We, therefore, profile each learner’s temperament, allowing more insight into each learner’s emotional behaviour. If needed, an intervention plan is then designed to suit the learner’s emotional needs.

The following programme of support is implemented at Shelanti. It comprises structured means of intervention, delivered within specific time frames:

• The use of devices and technology by our learners supports the curriculum differentiation. This is a key strategy for responding to the needs of learners with diverse learning styles and/or needs.
• Goal setting for each learner allows us to continually assess the progress and successes of each learner.
• Concessions, i.e. scribes, readers, extra time, spelling concessions, are granted.
• Creating an Individual Support Plan (ISP) for each learner which highlights barriers and interventions. This ISP is revised each term and discussed with the parent.
• Ensuring smooth transition into the high school of their choice.
• Continual training and mentoring of staff is another way that Shelanti keeps up with new developments and strategies in education and remains relevant.

We are sensitive to our children's social, emotional, intellectual and physical needs, providing developmentally appropriate activities that focus on the process of learning, while also helping children enjoy many other successful experiences. We encourage not just learning, but the love of learning.

We believe in a physical environment being safe, clean, healthy and child friendly. The classroom is arranged to offer challenging   play and learning choices at a range of developmental levels. Learning centres allow children the opportunity to explore, to experience and most importantly to succeed.

Our teachers create a caring and nurturing atmosphere that fosters each child’s creativity and positive self-image. We believe in positive methods of discipline.  

In the classroom, we practice procedures and establish consistent and appropriate limits to help children function in their world. Our program is designed to develop in children a sense of independence and responsibility. We strive to strengthen each child’s own cultural identity, while instilling a respect for others.

Our Early Childhood Program values people: the children in our care, their parents and our employees. We continually work to earn the trust place in us. We strive each day, to provide the best early childhood educational services possible.
