Hakuna Matata Preschool KZN

Hakuna Matata Pre-School located in Glenashley, Durban, caters for children ages 3 months to 6 years. My school caters for ages 3 months to 6 years.

We pride ourselves on our qualified teachers, fun-filled curriculum and most important a "home away from home" environment. Hakuna Matata Pre- School was founded and opened by myself, Bronwyn Manning on the 18th April 2007. I am a fully qualified teacher with a Bachelor of Primary Education Degree and 16 years teaching experience. At the start of my teaching career, I taught Grade 1 at Chelsea Pre

paratory School for 6 years. I am a mom of three children and after having my first child, I opened Hakuna Matata Pre School, where I have taught from ages 18 months to Grade R. My goal at Hakuna is to create a “home away from home” environment, where your little one will be safe and secure, while at the same time choosing from a variety of activities, which will encourage continued learning. My teachers are all qualified and highly motivated and together we will continue giving the best educational program. At Hakuna Matata Pre-School, your little one will be assured of a stimulating and educational day. We have a fun-filled curriculum, where your child will learn about different themes, with activities aimed at learning through play and experiences that prepare them for formal schooling. Each of these activities promote all aspects of a young child’s development, a few of which include:

• Informal / Formal discussions - weather, news, story time, nursery and finger rhymes, etc
• Music and movement
• Baking
• Playing with educational toys, games and puzzles
• Play dough, threading, drawing
• Sand, water and sensory play
• Creative art, painting and box construction
• Free play and fantasy play

The focus at Hakuna Matata Pre-School is the development of the whole child.

“Children must be taught HOW to think, not WHAT to think!”

My beliefs about children underlie the ethos of my Pre-School. I believe that the whole child is important and our activities are planned to promote all areas of development. Each child is different, unique as an individual and experiences activities in different ways. Children learn and develop through play, whatever the game or material, which is the “vehicle” for learning. My team and I look forward to welcoming you and your precious child to join our Hakuna Matata Family. We would be honoured to be a part of your child / children’s early learning journey. In love and learning

The Grade 000 little ones were busy cooking up a storm! 🍎🥕🍌

With fruits, vegetables, pots, pans and kitchen utensils, they created delicious imaginary meals, served their friends and let their imaginations run wild. Pretend play is a wonderful way for children to develop language, social skills and creativity while having lots of fun!

We loved seeing all our happy little 'chefs' at work! 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳❤️

🐓💨 Cock-a-doodle-DOO! Our Red Group children have been learning all about chickens and farm life! 🌾🚜

This fun activity supports:
🌬️ Oral motor development by strengthening the lips, cheeks and tongue muscles needed for clear speech, drinking and feeding skills.
🧠 Cause-and-effect learning.
🖐️ Sensory exploration and fine motor development.

🥰 We love making learning fun, interactive and meaningful every day!
