Pikkewyntjies / Penguinkidz Pre-School was first established as a playgroup in the community hall.
The playgroup was such a success that the founder of the group and her volunteers approached the municipality about building a school to give the children all the benefits of Early Childhood Education.
In 2009 a brick two-classroom school equipped with a kitchen and toilets was built. Today Pikkewyntjies / Penguinkidz Pre School caters for about 40 children from Mooi Uitsig, Betty’s Bay, Pringle Bay and Rooi Els.
The school is open all year round except for a break between the 15th of December and the 9th of January.
Pikkewyntjies / Penguinkidz Pre School’s two classes are the Stella Programme and the Ayona Learning Programme.
The Stella Programme is registered with the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) and follows a strict National Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS). The programme provides the educator with reading materials and activities for the children.
