What to ask before you enrol in Sandton

Is the centre registered, and with whom?
Centres with seven or more children must register under the Children's Act 38 of 2005. Since 1 April 2022 registration sits with the Gauteng Department of Education. Ask for the certificate, and ask whether an independent school also holds its own registration.
Does a preschool place secure a Grade 1 place?
Crawford Lonehill, Fourways Academy, Kim Field Academy, Grosvenor Academy and Little Ashford feed into primary schools. Ask whether your child is guaranteed a place or must apply again.
What does the Montessori or faith ethos mean day to day?
Several Sandton schools state a Montessori, Christian or Islamic ethos. Ask how it shapes the timetable, festivals and the way progress is reported.
Which suburb works with my commute?
Bryanston, Fourways, Lonehill and Sunninghill sit on opposite sides of the N1 and William Nicol. Try the route at drop-off time before you commit.
What does it cost and what is included?
Ask for the full schedule in writing, including stationery, meals, aftercare, extramurals, registration and deposit.
How early should I apply?
Popular schools fill a term or two ahead, so ask about waiting lists.
