About us

Peter Rabbit Playschool

At Peter Rabbit Playschool, we believe that childhood should be filled with wonder, exploration, and joy. For us, play is far more than fun—it’s the foundation of meaningful learning and growth. Through play, children develop creativity, confidence, problem-solving skills, and a lifelong love of discovery.

Our mornings are thoughtfully structured to spark curiosity and guide learning, while afternoons are devoted to open-ended play—giving children the freedom to imagine, explore, and grow at their own pace. We follow a balanced approach that blends teacher-led and child-led activities, supported by a well-equipped playground where children can thrive both indoors and outdoors.

Our programme is structured yet relaxed, guided yet flexible, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to discover, create, and learn in meaningful ways. We believe the most powerful and lasting learning always happens through play.

We are more than just a playschool—we’re a home away from home. Our caring team is committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment where every child feels valued and supported.

While our learners transition to Grade R in the year they turn six, our vision extends far beyond simply preparing them for “big school.” We aim to prepare them for life—ensuring they leave us as happy, confident, curious, and resilient children, excited and ready for the journey ahead.

Safety and Security:

At Peter Rabbit Playschool, your child’s safety and wellbeing are our highest priority.

We are proudly supported by ECMR Medical Private Emergency Ambulance Services, ensuring that in the event of any situation — big or small — professional medical assistance is available quickly and efficiently.

All of our staff, including our chef, are trained in First Aid. This allows us to respond calmly and confidently, creating a safe and well-prepared environment at all times.

For added peace of mind, CCTV cameras are installed throughout the school, including classrooms, passages, entryways, and playground areas. These are monitored by management only, ensuring both safety and respect for privacy.

Access to the school is controlled to ensure a secure environment at all times.
