We are aiming to give each child in this preschool a jersey or track suit and the babies a cot quilt and set of sheets.
The school operates with approximately 70 children during the day (from 7am – till their mom’s fetch them 5 – 8:30pm) plus they have an aftercare at present with 17 children. Who spend their afternoons in a safe place with plenty of activities rather than unsupervised at home.
