The Trust was formed in 1993 to assist seriously deprived children obtain a preschool education that would help them enter formal schooling on a par with their more fortunate peers. The indirect but definite benefit is the uplifting of the entire community. In the long term, crime should decrease as education improves. If we are able to ensure that a child is well nourished and stimulated by the time he / she enters primary school, she / he stands a far better chance of coping.
Our vision: To enable all children, irrespective of race, within the Knysna disadvantaged communities, obtain a sound integrated preschool education, in a safe and caring environment, thereby enabling them to take full advantage of their entry into formal schooling and develop a love for life-long learning.
Our mission: To facilitate the progressive upgrading of unregistered care groups, backyard preschools, day cares and creches in order to register as Early Childhood Development Centres, which qualifies them for government funding.
