What to ask before you enrol in Pinelands
Is the school registered, and is it independent or part of a primary school?
Centres with seven or more children must hold ECD registration under the Children's Act 38 of 2005, now administered by the Western Cape Department of Basic Education. Independent schools such as Cannons Creek and Pinelands Montessori also have their own admission and fee policies, so ask for both.
Does a preschool place lead to a Grade 1 place?
Several Pinelands schools link early learning to later grades. Ask whether your child is guaranteed a place, put on a waiting list, or has to apply again.
What does the Montessori classroom look like in practice?
If you are considering Pinelands Montessori Independent School at the Oude Molen Eco Village, ask about mixed-age classes, the training of the guide and how progress is reported to parents.
How early should I apply?
Independent schools in Pinelands often fill a year ahead. Ask for application dates and whether there is a registration fee.
What are the hours and holiday arrangements?
Day-care centres like Panda Bear Daycare Centre and First Steps Daycare tend to run longer hours than school-style pre-primaries. Check the cut-off time and whether school holidays are covered.
