Our school is currently hosting a series of impactful parental workshops designed specifically for parents and caregivers of children aged 0-5 years. This initiative, which began on October 16th, is a collaborative effort between the Department of Basic Education, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the National Early Childhood Development Alliance, and the Grassroots Educare Trust Initiative.

Workshop Details
The workshops are held every Wednesday for five weeks, running from 13h30 to 16h30 in the school hall. Participants who complete the course will receive a certificate of attendance, recognizing their commitment to enhancing their skills in early childhood development.

The program is led by Sheikh Kenny, a qualified mentor and coach in early childhood development. He is the developer of an integrated site learning program and serves as the Principal of Daarul Qur’aan Institute Pre-Primary, Primary, and High School in Heideveld.
