Our mission is to provide children on the west rand with caring early childhood education, to prepare them for primary school and beyond. Dear Prospective Families, We are delighted to welcome you to our website and provide a brief introduction of Little Minions Academy. Located on Walker Avenue in Discovery, Little Minions Academy is a private preschool caring for children ages 3 month old through Grade R. Our state-of-the-art facilities include a preschool library, outdoor playground / sprinklers, garden, and all classrooms with natural light. We are currently accepting registration forms. The school hours are from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm and during this time follows a set routine. We offer enrichment classes through our suppliers, such as Monkeynastix, drama, pottery, Abacus Maths, and soccer! Established as a preschool in 1970, it has been under new management of Little Minions Academy since 1 September 2016, to respond to the growing need for quality, affordable, private preschool education in the area. The school is founded by a husband and wife, who are committed to providing our parents with high quality services. We understand the importance of helping a parent map out a pathway to successful outcomes for their children and the importance that early learning has on the development of the “whole child.” We are committed to the education of children at Little Minions Academy by meeting the intellectual, physical, social, and emotional needs of each individual child. Our vision is to provide a strong sense of community with a nurturing, progressive educational environment where children can learn through play. Our teachers are committed to excite, motivate, and challenge young minds. We want to teach our very young minds the importance of discovering, learning and respect for others. Our goal is also fully committed to make every effort to develop the personal and social growth of our students. The reinforcement of fundamentals such as “treat others as you would like them to treat you”, courtesy, and good manners is part of each school day. We encourage an attitude of mutual respect and acceptance of diversity. We believe that building a solid foundation from the start is key to any future success.
