The Prestige Baby & Kidz Academy franchise was founded in 2005 in response to the need for exceptional early childhood education in South Africa.
Our mission is to provide a school that offers children the necessary balance of learning and play needed at a foundation level, preparing them for success in primary school and beyond. We achieve this by providing challenging and exciting programmes which develop each child’s physical, mental, and cognitive skills.
After a decade of success, our preschool academies and daycare centres have grown in numbers. They have raised the bar for excellence in early childhood development, elevating an established group of facilities to a first-world premium standard.
This was achieved by incorporating educational programmes that surpass industry standards. Our qualified team of educators ensures that each child receives individualised attention. It is this personal touch of excellence and deep passion for childcare, that is evident in all our owner-run franchise branches.
Today, Prestige Baby & Kidz Holdings is a private group of exclusive academies and preschools, dedicated to children whose parents demand the best in early childhood development.
We offer well-rounded programmes designed to nurture every aspect of your child’s advancement.
All our branches follow the Reggio Emelia approach to learning. This approach is based on the principles of respect, responsibility, and community. It values the child as central to their development and encourages children to pursue their interests and revisit and build upon ideas at their own pace.
Children are motivated to become young thinkers with the understanding that learning can be fun. Through literacy, numeracy, art, sport, friendship, and play, they are encouraged to learn, explore, interact, be creative and get involved.
This helps us identify both strengths and weaknesses so that we can nurture their high-achievement areas and provide more focus to areas that require a little extra attention.
Children thrive when they feel comfortable, accepted, and valued. At our schools, we prioritise creating a welcoming and secure environment that fosters a smooth transition from home to school life. This nurturing atmosphere helps your child feel at ease, enabling them to develop a genuine enthusiasm for learning alongside their peers.
Our commitment to your child’s well-being extends to every aspect of their educational experience. Learning and play occur in meticulously maintained, clean, and safe surroundings. Our facilities are thoughtfully designed to support a wide range of activities, including modern classrooms equipped with the latest multimedia technology, as well as diverse indoor and outdoor play areas. These spaces are crafted to inspire curiosity, creativity, and collaboration, ensuring that your child enjoys a balanced and enriching educational journey.
Shaping young minds requires not just expertise but also a deep well of compassion and dedication. Our teaching staff, instructors, and caregivers are seasoned professionals who bring years of experience and an unwavering love for children to their roles. They understand that nurturing young learners goes beyond academics—it’s about creating a supportive, caring environment where each child feels valued and understood. Whether they are changing and feeding infants or guiding toddlers through the early stages of educational development, our team consistently demonstrates patience, tolerance, and a profound understanding of each child’s unique needs.
We believe that a strong partnership between educators and parents is essential for a child’s success. We work closely with families to develop individualised strategies tailored to each child’s strengths, challenges, and learning styles. By fostering open communication and collaboration, we create a school environment where your child can reach their full potential. Your child’s success is our shared goal, and we are committed to supporting their growth and development every step of the way.
