Graceland serves the poorer farming community in the outskirts of Stellenbosh by providing a preschool to stimulate over 60 children who might otherwise be left at home alone or on the streets.

June News


The teachers were recently trained extensively in PACE which incorporates Brain Gym and the Nelds approach and is a widely used curriculum. We are going to have a visit from the lecturer who is coming to see how we are applying what we have learned in the classroom. Let’s hope we can impress!

Also this month we want to say a huge thank you to Distell who sponsored rain boots for all of Graceland's learners for the winter as well as providing us with some yummy warm winter soup.  The children are very excited about the boots and have been wearing them proudly!

Finally, we recently heard that one of our previous learners Kay Jansen is going to take part in a spelling competition.  She is reading so well and she is only in grade 2. We are really proud because she started her pre-school here with us. Good luck Kay!
