Emyezweni Preschool

Welcome to Emyezweni Preschool
In 1992, Nomfaneleko Day Care Centre was founded by a group of mothers in the Lwandle community and a local church leader from Somerset West.
Realising the dream of a day-care centre started with one woman who was already looking after children and then others joined. After two years of searching for premises, space was found in one half of an old dining hall in Lwandle and set up as a day care centre, where a safe environment was provided for 30 children. Working mothers could leave their children for a small fee knowing that they would be nurtured, nourished, and cared for.

In 2001 the name was changed to Emyezweni Nomfaneleko Preschool and Day Care Centre. The first Grade R classroom was launched, and we registered with the Department of Education.

Over the next few years, our curriculum was continuously adapted and implemented by qualified preschool teachers, local assistant teachers, and international volunteers in line with the South African National Curriculum Framework. In 2016 our present Principal, Daniela Fredericks, was appointed. By that time we were taking care of 114 children in two Grade R, one Pre-Grade R, and one Toddler Class.
