How Our Sandton Day Care is Redefining Preschool Education in South Africa
The regular news headlines are enough to scare any parent – South African schools are not what they once were. Issues within the educational system are disheartening, and parents and guardians fear for the future of their children’s schooling. At FasTracKids, we are aware of the uphill battle students, teachers, and schools face. This is why our Sandton day care is so determined to establish a lifelong love of learning during those critical early childhood years. Our passion and love for education allow us to see opportunities for investing in each child and setting them up for future academic successes.
The FasTracKids story begins in 1998, when our programmes, centres, and schools began to grow, enriching the lives of children across the globe. From the start, we have always believed that children learn best when they learn naturally – through play, engaging their senses, and exploring their surrounding world. Young children, however, only explore when their curiosity is stimulated, and so, each of our programmes is developed to do precisely this. We also focus on who a child is, their gifts and strengths, and their preferred style of learning, in order to foster an environment in which they feel safe and affirmed enough to learn. At our Sandton day care, we employ this philosophy within each age group’s curriculum.
The FasTrack Advantages
21st century learners are independent thinkers who need more than just memorising data to keep them stimulated. Our five Cs of learning encourage the modern child to take ownership of their own learning process:
- Critical thinking: Problem-solving, analysing data, and carefully considering various outcomes all form part of critical thinking, which develops logical decision-making skills.
- Collaboration: Our Sandton day care has a multi-cultural learning environment in which children can develop team playing, leadership, and interpersonal skills.
- Creativity: Creativity allows your child to think outside of the box and come up with solutions never before explored. Our activities are geared towards honing this creativity in every child.
- Communication: Communication is one of the most essential facets of modern living and becomes a wonderful tool in your child’s learning journey. Through constant verbal interaction and stimulating conversations, songs, rhymes, and activities, your child will be able to communicate complex concepts effectively.
- Confidence: A constructive, encouraging, and affirming environment allows each child to tackle challenges confidently, without fear of failure.
