Barkly House Pre-School in Kenilworth founded to provide excellent pre-primary education with a focus on holistic, play-based learning. The exact start year isn’t prominently listed on their website, but the school describes itself as having a “rich heritage rooted in teacher training” and being “established over eight decades ago”, indicating its heritage goes back many decades, connected to teacher training and early education quality in the Cape.
Barkly House provides a free morning care service at 07h00 to assist working parents who are unable to drop off their child at the start of the school day. Members of staff oversee informal play (construction toys, puzzles, etc.) from 07h45.
Our Aftercare is run by Barkly House staff. Elvina May and Tamara Stewart organise a range of activities and facilitate play in a safe and nurturing environment. A packed lunch needs to be provided for your child. Aftercare closes at 17h00.
We run a weekday holiday care programme between school terms, from 07h45 until 16h00. When there is sufficient demand, we also provide holiday care at the start of the December holidays. Rates apply.
