What is the reason behind your crèche's name?
It’s unique and different; it’s also a fun name. I wasn't going to deep in thought and didn't want to copy other crèches.
What are you grateful for about your crèche?
I am grateful for the children - taking care of these little ones. I am also grateful for the staff, helping hands, a safe environment, parents trusting us with the kids, having a job, that there is a meal everyday, running water, a toilet that flushes and beds they can sleep on. I am also grateful for our learning program.
What are your vision and mission for the crèche?
Our vision is to create a safe and fun environment for learning, and to create a home away from home. Our vision is a community where all children feel loved, respected and encouraged to develop to their fullest potential. We know that each child is unique and special and a positive early childhood experience is instrumental in later life.
Little Pirates Educare’s mission is to promote high quality education and childcare. Our program promotes opportunity for children to develop and grow in a positive manner through appropriate role modelling. Our mission is to nurture the “WHOLE CHILD” in the areas of physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual developments. Through our Amazing Brainz program and activities we will enhance the mental development and recognize the individual needs of each child.
What extra services do you offer to the children of your crèche?
- transport from the crèche in the afternoon
- an aftercare service
What are the most important needs/prayer requests regarding your crèche right now?
Please pray:
- for a stable income from crèche fees as paid by the parents.
- for the parents of the children enrolled at my crèche who are struggling at home (finances/work/health/drug abuse).
- that we will be able to upgrade the crèche's playground with concrete pavers, etc.
- for a reliable and affordable architect to draw up the building plans for the crèche so that we can start the process of registering the crèche at the Dep. of Basic Education to be able to get funds from the government for the running of the crèche.
- for me and my teachers' health and home circumstances and that we don't loose our passion tor working with the children.
- that the crèche's vegetable garden can get going again.

Parent Feedback
- My sons, Danilson and Denilson, joined Little Pirates Educare in the beginning of this year. I am very pleased with the service at this crèche. At first, I was very afraid because of the last experience I had at another ECD Centre. I asked my sister about Little Pirates Educare and she insisted that I apply at this ECD Centre. Danilson and Denilson had many difficulties when they started at Little Prates Educare. They were still on diapers, couldn’t speak English fluently and struggled to interact with other children. For the past few months, I have seen many changes. The staff has put in a lot of effort to help them get off the diapers and their English has improved a lot. When they come home, they are always happy and talkative about what they did during the day. At times they will prefer to stay a bit longer at the crèche. I am very satisfied with the service given by Little Pirates Educare’s staff. The staff members are very helpful, always informing parents about their children’s progress as well as when there is an emergency. If one of my sons are sick, the teacher always informs me and take good care of them. Little Pirates Educare is for all races and languages, without discrimination. Every child is treated fairly.
- We are pleased to provide feedback regarding our 2 boys, aged 3 and 5 at Little Pirates Educare. At first, when my eldest boy started out, I was very sceptical because I was new to the community. I’m also an overprotective mom and would never leave my kids with anyone. So, when Tyler Welkom (5) started 3 years ago, the principal and staff was very friendly and would update me whenever I’m worried about my child. The principal and staff added me on a WhatsApp-group where all parents are updated on the children’s daily activities and that gave me great peace of mind. That’s why I didn’t hesitate to enrol my now almost 3 years old boy, Cavaughn Welkom. I can gladly say that my kids are treated as family and that makes my heart glad as we are a multiracial family. I love how my kids are turning into independent little people. We appreciate the dedication and care provided by your team and looking forward to continue positive experiences. I applaud the principal and her whole team. 100/100
- I have a grandchild who have been living with me since the age of 2 years. I enrolled her in 2018 at Little Pirates Educare. She had been on diapers then and they potty trained her in one week. She has grown into a bubbly young girl after dealing with her own insecurities. The program at this crèche is in such a manner that the children deal with their emotions, they understand the task that they are given and learn to make decisions. My grandchild loves reading, writing and singing because the teachers take great pride in what they are doing. The teachers are always early and first to meet the parents and children in the morning to show that they are dedicated. My grandchild is now almost 8 years and attend the aftercare at Little Pirates Educare. She is doing well at school because of what she learned at this crèche. The foundation phase is the most important phase of a child’s life and should be build on with care and support. I recommend every parent that I meet to enrol their children at Little Pirates Educare where they are safe, loved, nourished and prepared for school.
