An early childhood centre where every child is known by name.
Little Wonder has cared for the children of Leeukop Street since 1994. Birth to five years, in a centre run by people who live in this neighbourhood.
A centre, not a business.
Our doors opened in 1994 and we have been part of this street ever since. Parents leave their children with us in the morning knowing who is holding them and what they will learn before home time.
What we ask of a parent is what it costs to feed, teach and keep a child safe for the day. Nothing more. Our practitioners are from Rosedale, and the families we serve are our neighbours.
Every room has a colour.
Six classes, each with its own colour. The door of every classroom is painted in that colour, so a child knows their own room from the yard.
Cots, a changing area and mats on the floor. Feeds, sleeps and nappy changes are written down for you every day, with the same practitioner each morning.
The busy year. Toilet training, first words, songs, and learning to share a table and pack away afterwards.
Morning ring, learning corners, counting, holding a pencil, and listening to a story to the end. These are the groups that leave us for Grade R.
The same order, every day.
Small children settle when the day is predictable. Ours runs from the register in the morning to the last child collected from the classroom in the evening.
The same faces, every single morning.
Seven practitioners, alongside the office staff who keep the centre running. They know each child’s name, which parent fetches them, and what settles them on a hard day.
Three steps to a place.
Phone or send a WhatsApp and arrange a time to walk through. You are welcome to see the room your child would be in.
Bring your child’s birth certificate, clinic card and your ID. We fill in the enrolment form and the collection list with you.
We start with a short day so your child settles, and we tell you how it went when you fetch them.
