Why are we successful?

We get the results because of 4 unique, unmatched and unrivalled pillars…

4 age-appropriate toolkits

Our Practioners’ guides

Our Caregiver training and ongoing support

On the ground Monitoring support

4 age-appropriate toolkits

The Unlimited Child has 4 programmes designed to enrich children of various age groups. Our programmes for babies, toddlers and pre-Grade R children are aligned to National Early Learning Development Standards (NELDS). Our Grade R programme is aligned to Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS).

The Practitioners’ Guides

With assistance from renowned early childhood development specialist Freda Wilkens, the content and layout of our practitioners’ guides are simple and easy to follow. Each day has its own page and all 200 days of the school year are included. The sections are divided into lifeskills, mathematics, life science and language. Each day ends with a story that the caregiver can share with the children. This layout is the same across all the programmes.

Our Caregiver Training

Our crèches are run by very special ladies who started their care facilities as they have a great love for children. Our programme kicks-off with a hands-on, 4-day training session. From our day-to-day practitioners’ guide, to our daily routine and learning through play with our educational toys – we train our caregivers how to make learning, fun.

On the ground Monitoring support

At least once a month, our Monitors visit each of the crèches reached by The Unlimited Child to ensure that our high standards are being maintained. While they provide ongoing guidance and support to caregivers, our Monitors first priority is to ensure that our programme is being used effectively on a daily basis. Maintaining our standards is of the utmost importance to the long term success of The Unlimited Child.

Our ongoing Caregiver support

We also run ‘cluster sessions’ once a month that bring together our caregivers from crèches in the same area. In these sessions, our caregivers support each other by sharing their knowledge and experiences, allowing for an environment of continuous learning. These get-togethers encourage our caregivers to rely on one another and to create strong working relationships with everyone involved.
