Application
& Admission Process 
and School Policies

The purpose of this policy is to provide a framework to guide you in the application and admissions process at Kids@Home Early Learning Centre. We will not refuse any Pupil on the grounds of race, religious belief or socio-economic background.

We are committed to providing a caring, safe, educationally sound environment for every child in our care.  Safety and well being are of paramount importance in determining the capacity of the school.

 

Where it becomes necessary to select prospective pupils as a result of applications exceeding the places available, the principal will have the discretion to admit pupils and the selection shall be based on the following criteria:

  • Preference will be given to applicants where Kids@Home is the nearest school offering Grade R

  • The age of the applicant - Child must turn 6 years old in Grade R

  • The capacity of the school to provide adequately for the educational needs, language needs and special needs of the applicant

  • Children of past pupils and teachers

  • Due regard to a fair distribution of Boys/Girls

  

Applications are to be made in writing on the school’s prescribed application form, together with documentary proof requested to be annexed thereto. Incomplete applications may not be processed.  A R350 application fee is to be paid in cash or via EFT at time of application.

​

As we are a small school, we are not able to have applicant’s visit unannounced to see our facilities.  We invite prospective families to visit our school in small groups so that they are able to meet our teachers, see our facilities and ask all the pertinent questions.  The following items are then also discussed:

  • The ethos of our school

  • The opportunities available to our Children both intra and extra-murally

  • The teaching style adopted and utilized by the school

  • The rights, rules and responsibilities and freedoms of our Children, parents, and school with relation to behavior, daily roster, paying of fees etc.

 

We will then notify you in writing as to whether your application has been successful or not.  We ask parents to confirm their Child’s acceptance within the specified period. We will happily keep unsuccessful applicants details on our waiting list in the event that a space becomes available.  ​​

​

Your applications can be scanned and emailed to Jessica@kidsathome.co.za with POP of your application fee.
