Curriculum
Age: 3 years
Our curriculum finds its roots in the understanding that children, even in their later years, 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. It is only when these foundations have been developed that abstract learning can begin.

Our Seedling Family
We pride ourselves in our mindful approach to learning, teaching and creating an environment where our little Sprouts, Seedlings, Saplings and Sycamores have space to spread their roots and grow into individuals. Elize Hendrikz and Liezl Kotzé, a mother /daughter duo has created a loving, caring, homely environment in which to nurture and educate each little learner that comes across our path. Our qualified and passionate teachers share in our vision and follow our personalised pedagogical approach.
Seedling Development Focus
This environment focuses mainly on development of the Thinking Brain or the Cognitive Brain that is used for logical/linear thinking but also integrates abstract concepts through concrete experiences to enrich our understanding and evaluations of life.
Our Concrete Play Based applications and activities ensure all 6 ELDA’s and applied 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.
Through mindful presentation of the educational
experience a child’s natural curiosity is utilised for
optimal learning.

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.
