Welcome to Kidzone Educare
Kidzone Educare was established in 2005 when Principal Tasha Engelbrecht, a qualified Social Worker, saw the need for a high quality and easily accessible Pre-Primary School in Northcliff.
The school accommodates children between the ages 3 months and 6 years in seven classes with a maximum class size of 24. Social development and interaction forms a crucial part of the class structure and ethos. Each class has qualified and experienced teachers and assistants that are trained in First Aid and CPR to ensure that our children receive the best possible care.
