La Petite ECD Centre is a safe, nurturing space where little ones in Middelburg feel seen, build confidence and discover the joy of learning through play.
La Petite ECD Centre is more than just a drop-off pre-school. We provide a secure, stimulating and flexible environment where children can develop socially, emotionally, physically and cognitively.
Our approach recognises the holistic nature of every child. Through active participation in a structured programme, we develop all aspects of each learner. Fees include breakfast and aftercare until 17:30, so working parents can have complete peace of mind.
