Small World is preparing to sing and dance and tell our stories for this year’s Africanarra 💙
A celebration of storytelling in “the hundred languages” — through music, movement, books, rhythm, imagination, words and no-words.
Africanarra 2026 is the Africa Reggio Emilia Alliance’s annual storytelling initiative, where Reggio Emilia-inspired schools across Africa co-create storytelling events in their own communities over the weekend of 22–24 May 2026 for:
✨ “Stories of winds, peace, hope, dreams, and wishes” ✨
We can’t wait to gather on the stoep and let the stories fly.

Calling all siblings and new friends under 2 years old…
The Seedlings programme will start this week on 29 October 2025.
WHAT IS IT?
Seedlings is an Infant-Toddler Program that provides a dynamic opportunity for parents/caregivers and their infants to spend some time together, exploring a wide range of expressive media for example clay, watercolours, sensory play, and music, in an environment that encourages investigation, curiosity and experimentation.
WHO’S IT FOR?
It’s for parents/guardians/nannies/grandparents and their children 2 years and under. Parents can observe as their child gains confidence in socialising and forming relationships with each other and the space.
Come share and explore a variety of materials as well as rich, thought provoking conversations. And let’s not forget the delicious, nutritious High Tea served in the Friendship Forest afterwards!
Time: Wednesday afternoons 2-4pm
