Office (9-3)Integrated approach
Facilities we offer at FHPPS
At Fish Hoek Pre Primary we strive to give the children a balance of indoors and outdoors activities, encompassing both learning and play.
Playground Delight
Our Garden
Our garden is a much-loved space where children run, climb, explore, and learn through play. At its center is a three-level jungle gym—designed around hexagonal shapes and connected by bridges, ramps, ladders, monkey bars, a fireman’s pole, and slides—all surrounded by a giant sandpit. It’s a standout feature and a favorite in the Valley.
The garden also includes a covered sandpit, water play area, soccer field, fairy garden with a rabbit, Peter, a guinea-pig, Squeaky, a rooster Jewels and a few hens, a large pirate ship named ‘The Denise,’ and a vegetable garden. Kitchen scraps feed our worms, and we’ve just added a fantastic new play area for our 1–3-year-olds in the back garden. Grassed and filled with age appropriate climbing frames, a covered sandpit and lots of flat running space.
The Building
Our school building is large and integrated. We have 6 large classrooms to accommodate our children between the ages of 4 months and 6 years in 3 separate areas with their own age appropriate garden as well as an area for the Aftercare to do activities and play during the afternoon.
Our newly renovated kitchen is well equipped and is used daily to make afternoon snacks for the children. We serve lunch and have our children’s hot lunch delivered on a daily basis. Our office is within easy access from the double gate facility with fingerprint and card access.
Each classroom, office and garden area is monitored by CCTV cameras. We have recently upgraded our building to meet the new Fire and Safety regulations, including fitting 3 push-bar exit doors and 30min fire walls and doors.
Resources
Our school is well equipped with educational materials, books, puzzles, games and educational toys as well as art materials and utensils. We use these on a daily basis for the children in order for them to enjoy art activities, baking and quiet time activities.
Our educational materials extend into our garden where daily the teachers set up different obstacle courses, movement exploration and adventure areas for the children to explore and experience.
Four wooden sheds house our resources in order for us to have enough equipment for rotation and variety.
Covered Motor Skills area
A few years ago we developed an area under cover to extend the motor development of our children. We have ropes, ladders, hammocks, and ramps that are set up and the children under supervision can be taken in small groups to use this exciting area. We share this area with our 1-2 year old children so it is set up and used only at specific times. Great for our children to enjoy.
