The Viva Foundation SA provide the
best possible quality Early Learning, Day Care and Pre-School experience with
the Viva Kids Early Learning programme and concept. Presently they have two
Viva Kids Early Learning Centres in Tshwane, one in Mamelodi and the other in
Ga-Rankuwa. The Viva Kids ‘Stations of Learning’ programme was developed
specially for children in informal settlements, who have been found to be
behind in school-readiness as a result of a lack of movement and mental and
social stimulation. At Viva Kids each developmental challenge is met at a
“station”, e.g. numeracy, literacy, fine motor skills, large motor skills
etc. Children move from ‘station to station’ over an elaborate jungle
gym, as opposed to staying in one class. The Viva Kids Early Learning
programme and curriculum provide underprivileged children in the informal
settlements with quality education in English, including the use of technology.
Today
Hirsch’s Centurion were able to donate 11 cushions and 4 carpets to the Viva
Foundation for the use in their classrooms at the Early Learning Centres.
The classrooms currently consist of containers which have been converted, and
the carpets and cushions will be used to ensure the children do not have to sit
directly on the floor. “Any donations are welcomed, as we are dependent
on funding from individuals and companies” said Meleney Kriel, CEO of the VivaFoundation.
