The program focuses on all six Early Learning and Development Areas (ELDAs) and is designed to keep kids engaged. @Sandton-Kids offers an early learning development curriculum called ‘Play Learn Win’, which is based on the NC Framework and ELDAS (Early Learning Developmental Areas), where children are encouraged to learn while playing. A lot of physical and concrete activities will take place, but each child will grow and learn at their own pace. Parents and guardians will receive a report at the end of each term to see how their little ones are doing.

Over the upcoming festive season, from 12 December to 6 January, @Sandton-Kids will be open from 6am – 6pm, with a fun-filled holiday programme that will keep children from 4 months to 11 years safely entertained!

Each day is themed, but activities will be tailored to the different ages of the group. Theme days include treasure hunts, rock painting, arts and crafts, baking and an indoor laser maze. There is a separate activity room for the older kids where they can watch age-appropriate movies, show their gaming skills on PlayStation or Nintendo Switch, read a book on e-readers, or enjoy other fun activities in their own supervised space.

The Holiday Care Program will cost R250 per day, which includes breakfast, two snacks and lunch, and a weekly rates of R650 for half day and R1150 for full day if paid in advance. For the full timetable, visit the @Sandton-Kids website.
