Helping the working Mom's of Mooiplaats
The daycare operates in the informal settlement called Mooiplaats or Spruit.
It serves ±67 children, ages 3 to 6yrs old;
SMILE assists greatly with application of curriculum provided by Department of Education and SMILE Impact.
The curriculum addresses development in various ways:
- art time – theme of the week and art projects;
- gross motor development stations;
- water play;
- musical instruments;
- music and movement
- and more.
SMILE IMPACT assisted Team Creative Day Care Center to register as their own NPO, thus enabling them to function independently, moving towards sustainability in providing for the children’s needs:
- cleaning detergents,
- buildings and furniture + maintenance.
- Training: Early Childhood Development, first aid, firefighting, etc.
- Adopt-A-Smile: Monthly contributions by various donors aids families who struggle with school fees as well as where more than one child attends the daycare.
SMILE Impact continues to play a role to ensure sound governance, sustainability and adhering to all requirements by various departments.
