Hermanus Pre-Primêre Skool is ‘n onafhanklike skool en nasorgfasiliteit wat geregistreer is by beide die WKOD en die Departement van Maatskaplike Ontwikkeling. Ons bied kwaliteit vroeë kinderonderwys en -sorg vir kinders van 18 maande tot 6 jaar oud, met onderrig wat in beide Engels en Afrikaans aangebied word. Ons is trots daarop om ‘n diverse en inklusiewe skoolgemeenskap te wees waar elke kind en gesin verwelkom, gerespekteer en gewaardeer word.

Children learn best through their senses, and, at Hermanus Pre-Primary School, we embrace hands-on, perceptual learning and sensory exploration. We believe that the messier the child, the more meaningful the learning! Through creative play, movement, and discovery, we focus on both gross and fine motor development. This ensures that important milestones are reached in preparation for formal schooling. Our fun and engaging activities encourage children to use their whole bodies and curious minds, fostering a love for learning from an early age.

Welcome to the Hermanus Pre-Primary School family.
