The Asidlale Box was a means of helping a mother/grandmother to introduce the 'play' aspect with their children for a few hours a day.  It was designed to help children develop the fine and gross motor skills needed for their school careers, especially in areas where there is no access to local creches.

​

The MASIFUNDE PROGRAMME is a fully immersive creche programme.  Designed specifically with the rural creche in mind (derived with permission from the AMOS Meerkat Project in Namibia), Inge Engelbrecht has developed a version that is suited to our rural communities.

​

The course is presented in English and is comprised of 8 Themes, including:  Our School, My Body, My Senses, My Home, My Family, On the Farm, In the Garden, In the Town (people/helpers in our community) and Wild Animals.

EASTER and CHRISTMAS are two important themes covered 

​

Key areas focused on are:

• Character development (a unique and vital component of the programme)

• Development of the child and the brain

• Gross and fine motor skills

• Teaching Bible stories and biblical truths

• Perceptual skills

• Sounds and numbers

• Songs and the art of storytelling

• Art and crafts
