Programme Description
We accommodate 200 children in this programme on a daily basis in Malmesbury and Riverlands from Monday to Friday. Riverlands is from Gr.1 - 7 and Malmesbury from Gr. R – Matric have a safe place to do their homework, assignments and studies instead of being alone at home after school (which is the case for 95% of our children). A holistic approach is practised by constantly striving to ensure an environment that is stimulating as well as conducive to learning. Therefore, in addition to assistance with homework and studies, life-skills, school holiday programmes, music, sport and recreation are also offered as well as provision for basic needs such as food and clothing to the very needy.
The reality that this programme truly reaches the objectives of early intervention and prevention is evidenced in the fact that when we implemented this programme in 2006 to current date, there has only been one child who has dropped out of school. Many very young children have started attending the programme about two years ago. Clearly this displays the confidence and faith that parents have in the programme and we hope that most of them will be with us until they have completed Matric!
The Riverlands After School Care has started August 2018.
