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 in order 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 to the 9th of January.
Pikkewyntjies / Penguinkidz Pre School’s two classes are the Stella Programme and the Ayona Learning Programme.
Class One - 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 a booklet filled with reading materials and activities for the children to do. Activities include:
Class Two - The Ayona Learning Programme is a registered social development class. They have a theme-based curriculum with several activities the children all participate in. These include:
Pikkewyntjies / Penguinkidz Pre-School has started a self-sustaining vegetable garden. The garden is overseen by the principal and educators but the planting, watering, removal of weeds and harvesting of vegetables are all done by the green-thumbed learners.
