About Little Shack Preschool

Little Shack is a small home-based preschool in the heart of Sandton, Johannesburg. We cater for little ones from 18 months old. We follow the Montessori approach at Little Shack and our little pupils are therefore encouraged to gain independence. They learn about the world around them through sensory play and exploration. Our Christian values, small teacher child ratio, variety of child lead activity/play and a personal touch is what makes our school so unique.

A loving, peaceful, encouraging, and safe community is what Little Shack is all about.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the blessing of having both our girls starting off their school journeys at Littleshack. More recently my youngest started in January aged 18 months and she flourished since joining. Littleshack is the most incredible and nurturing environment and the small class size allows for incredible hands on a connection. The cherry on top is Megan is a wonderful principal and teacher and makes all the little feel so loved. Highly recommend this school especially for younger children!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn’t be happier with Little Shack - it has truly been a second home for our son. Every morning, he runs into the arms of his educators with pure joy, which speaks volumes about the love and care he receives.

Megan and the team provide such focused attention, which has truly enabled our son to thrive. We receive frequent updates on his progress and daily photos on their activities.

Little Shack provides a wonderful sense of family and community. The warmth, kindness, and nurturing environment make this a truly special place.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank Megan and Memory for all your amazing input into my little boy. He has really flourished into an amazing little man and I've just seen him grow from strength to strength. We absolutely love your School and I personally would recommend Little Shack to any parents looking for a loving and caring pre-school. Even though we sadly had to leave due to unforeseen circumstances, Little Shack will always be considered a home away from home!!

Our girls absolutely love the school and teachers Megan and Memory truly are amazing with the kids. We could not have asked for a better place for our girls to go and play and learn.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Teacher Megan & her staff are so kind & gentle with our little guy. It makes it so much easier dropping him off knowing he is in good hands. The activities are well thought out & improve problem solving as well as hand eye coordination to name a few.

Independence

We have designed the classroom at Little Shack preschool specifically to encourage our little ones to become more independent through child focused activities. During the work cycle each child is encouraged to choose work independently, work purposefully, pack away once completed which ultimately allows them to gain autonomy.



Sensory Play

Children learn by engaging all 5 of their senses. Our children are encouraged to explore, manipulate, and discover through the Montessori materials that are provided for them. We also provide weekly messy play, or art and craft activities, following a theme, that are designed to introduce new concepts and foster creativity.



Music & Movement

Music and movement are a wonderful way for children to develop holistically. Music Box (music) and Tumbling Tigerz (movement) are extra mural programs that come once a week to provide additional stimulation and aid in development.

Development

Each and every child is fearfully and wonderfully made. We understand that children reach their developmental milestones in their own time. Therefore, our qualified teachers at Little Shack Montessori guide, encourage and celebrate with each child as they reach their milestones at their own healthy pace.
