Curriculum
Age: 4 years
Our curriculum finds its roots in the understanding that children greatly benefit from learning methods that incorporate tangible experiences with thematic content, which can help them grasp complex ideas by relating them to familiar, real-world contexts.

Curriculum
Our Concrete Play Based applications and activities ensure all 6 ELDA’s and CAPS requirements are fully explored. We aim to go above and beyond when working with our little ones to ensure their educational needs are met by working with individuals on a personal level. The core of our pedagogy is to:
1. Guide/Facilitate rather than instruct.
2. Offer a space for individual expression rather than duplication.
3. Collaborate rather than divide.
4. Document events rather than just report back.
We continually research educational trends and implement new-aged methods to further develop and grow our little seedlings into strong-rooted individuals.
We work as a small community at BabyBums Randburg whereby learners assist each other, learn from each other and lend a helping hand with daily chores i.e. assisting in the kitchen with food preparation and general cleaning up.
We use an array of programmes and teaching methods that focus on their timing and systematic introductions
to routines, sequences and games, maximising your child’s brain development in the most natural way.
