Vision
Providing opportunities for our children to build firm foundations in every area of their lives.

Mission
The various areas we aim to lay these firm foundations for our children are:
• Their Relationship with God
• Their Educational Experiences
• Their Emotional and Physical Development
• Their Relationships within their Family, Social Environment, Church and Community

We aim to accomplish this through a daily programme which is centred on outdoor experiences and learning
through nature and play, within firm and healthy boundaries. The programme will be fun and enjoyable while
still providing opportunities for daily growth in all the above-mentioned areas.

History
Debbie Praschma along with her husband Mike, founded Life Church many years ago. They are the
Founding Pastors and have four children. They love and are completely committed to Amanzimtoti and
South Africa - and are here to stay!

Debbie believes that sometimes it’s hard to change mind-sets and lives, it’s much easier to develop good
habits and lifestyles from a young age, and so together with parents, we want to be inputting into our
children, love and boundaries in order to set the firm foundations needed to build strong, healthy, disciplined
adults and therefore families.

" I do not believe that the problems we are facing in South Africa just happened, but I believe that we can
change the future, one little life at a time. I believe that good parents create good children, creating good
families, creating safe communities, creating a strong Nation. It starts with moms and dads making the
right decisions for their children, and we want to be a part of the privilege of nurturing the children."

Debbie shared this vision with Jacqui and asked if she could be involved in the project of starting a Pre-
Primary School at Life Church.

Jacqui Welby-Solomon, with a Bachelor of Education in Early Childhood Development and Foundation
Phase, studied through UNISA while working at a local Pre-Primary School. Her love for children and
education resulted in her finishing her teaching degree in four years while working full-time as a teacher of
the 4-5 year old age group. Jacqui has known Mike and Debbie for a number of years and is a member of
Life Church. She is also the Children’s Church Pastor. Jacqui finished her degree at the end of 2011, got
married and left the school she was working at to volunteer her time at Life Church in 2012 to prepare for
Little Life Pre-Primary School's opening in 2013. Her ex-principal was happy to release her as there was a
desperate need for more Pre-Primaries in Amanzimtoti - offering her help in this exciting new adventure
Jacqui was about to begin.

Jacqui loves this town and is a third-generation family member who attended Amanzimtoti High School.
Jacqui and her husband Marvin, originally from Cape Town, together with their two sons have settled in
Amanzimtoti and are excited for the amazing opportunity God has given them to make a difference in their
community.

Fundraising and Buildings
During the year of 2012, Debbie and Jacqui together with their families and friends were busy at work
with all that was needed in starting up a new school. Their roles were countless and each day presented
itself with new and exciting challenges.

Fundraising was done to adapt existing buildings at Life Church to use for the school in 2013. Fundraisers
have been done each year to meet needs as they have presented themselves.

Building plans for the new school building to be built at Life Church have already been drawn up. This will
require continued fundraising during 2018.

Little Life has a big fundraiser every year (Annual Fashion Show) and we request that all parents/guardians
support this event.

Our Curriculum
Little Life is an Independent Christian Pre-Primary School and is still in the process of registering with the
Government. (This process was started in 2012)

We have developed our own curriculum and ensure that the work covered will get our children ready for the
local government schools in our area when they leave us to start Grade 1. We have meetings with Grade 1
teachers to ensure our children are on track.

Our curriculum is a combination of Grade 1 requirements (as discussed with two local Primary Schools in
our area - using CAPS), Christian Curriculum (adapted from a South African based curriculum),
Occupational Therapy techniques, an outdoor approach, as well as small programs used in conjunction with
the above.

Review from 2017
Dear Jacqui
I would like to compliment you and your staff on the outstanding job you have done in preparing the
Grade R's from Little Life Pre-Primary School for 'big school'. They have all settled into Amanzimtoti
Primary School with ease and show great determination. Not only are they academically all rounded and
exceed our expectations for Grade 1, but their social and moral values are commendable. The children are
showing fantastic early achievements thanks to the dedicated staff who have set their firm foundations.

Kind Regards,
Nicole Van De Ruit
Grade 1 Educator

Gate Security
We have a sign in system at our main gate entrance. Little Life children get two discs per child which allows
them to enter in without signing in if their discs are displayed. These discs have to be displayed by either
sticking them on your windscreen (passenger side if possible) or waving it when you arrive before the gate
is opened. If you or the person fetching your child has not got the disc then they will have to sign in. Your
disc has a specific number assigned to it and once your child leaves Little Life you will be asked to return
the disc/remove it from your windscreen.

Emergency Contacts and Pickup Persons
On your enrolment form will be four people who we will be able to phone in the case of emergencies,
including the two parent/guardians. These people will be phoned in the order that they appear on the
enrolment form. Please ensure that all contact details are updated as they change. This is your
responsibility and we cannot be held liable for not having updated information.

If you arrange for somebody else to fetch your child other than the four people stipulated on the enrolment
form, you will need to tell us in the morning or via a phone call. The person who is fetching your child may
be given a code word which we will give to you to relay to them. If they do not have this code word, we will
not let your child go with them until we have phoned you and spoken to you directly and you give your
permission. This is to ensure the safety of your child. Thank you for your support in this regard.

Collecting Children Early
Children can be collected early from school due to a special event but we ask that you inform us in the
morning or send a note in the notebook. You can also phone the school if it was a last minute plan. This
allows us to get your child ready and will cause less disruption for the rest of the children if you merely
arrived. Please specify if your child needs to be cleaned up or if they need to change their clothes. We will
be happy to do this for you. On a normal day children are to please be fetched at 13:00 and not
earlier as it disrupts our daily routine.

Excursions
We will plan various excursions throughout the year for the various age groups. Letters of consent will be
sent home and your child will only be able to go on the excursion if we have the consent form signed.
Children will have to wear their uniforms for all excursions. Some excursions will require parents/guardians
to offer lifts or to accompany the child. This will be relayed to you depending on the excursion.

Injuries
Although, the safety of your child is one of our main concerns, injuries happen and the following will be
done in the result of an injury.

Most of our staff are updated in first aid and will be able to administer first aid where necessary - first aid
certificates are up in reception for your perusal. A fully-stocked first aid box will always be at hand. Please
let us know on the enrolment form if your child has any allergies. Please come and speak to us if you would
like to check the first aid box.

Injuries will be written in the child's notebook and kept an eye on throughout the remainder of the day.
Children who need further medical assistance will need to be fetched by you or the contact persons on the
enrolment form. We will contact an ambulance in the case of a very serious injury as part of our MARSH
emergency insurance. You or one of the emergency contacts will then have to meet us at the hospital as
soon as you can. The emergency insurance cover we have allows you to claim back for certain medical
emergencies - there is more information available on the emergency insurance information form.

Medicines
By law we are no longer allowed to administer ANY medication. If your child develops a fever then you or
the pick up persons assigned to your child will be phoned to fetch your child. Thank you for your
understanding in this regard.

Meals
Little Life Pre-Primary School offers a snack consisting of sandwiches and fruit during the mid-morning.
Lunch is served after school and consists of sandwiches, light meals, cooked meals, fruit, raw vegetables,
salad and pudding.

Our menu changes every so often and is displayed during the week. Please can you relay any allergies or
food preferences to reception. We will allow for certain changes and these will be discussed with individual
parents.

Children are not allowed to bring their own sweets and snacks in their bags, unless otherwise arranged.

All children are required to bring two bottles to school everyday. One bottle can be filled with juice, the other
bottle needs to be filled with water. Please mark these bottles clearly with your child's name.

Juice is only given after class time (normally around 11am) but children have access to their water through-
out the day.

Birthday Rings
Children are allowed to bring cake, cupcakes, sweets, biscuits, chips, ice-cream or a healthier option for
their birthday ring. They can also give out party packs. Parents/Guardians are not required to bring
anything for the birthday ring if you do not want to. All children who have a birthday will be sung to during
assembly/before lunch by the whole school and will get a special crown. If the parents want their child to
have a birthday ring then a time will be allocated to them for that day according to the timetable. Party
packs will not be eaten at school but will be sent home with the children.

Uniforms
Children will be given uniforms when they pay the registration fee. The uniform consists of three sets of t-
shirts and shorts.

Uniforms are there so children do not mess up their smart clothes but are not compulsory unless told
otherwise.

Please do not allow your child to wear stiff jeans or uncomfortable pants that restrict movement. Children
are not able to move around our equipment if they are in uncomfortable clothes.

Children are allowed to wear white, black or blue vests, long sleeve shirts or tights under their uniforms.
They are also allowed to wear jerseys and jackets over their uniforms. Children can wear long pants in the
colder months instead of their shorts. Parents can bring their child a hat to wear as well.

Children will have to wear their uniforms on all excursions unless otherwise told.

Extra uniforms can be ordered from reception at your expense. Please enquire at reception for prices.

A winter tracksuit is also available to purchase at your own expense. Please note that this is not
compulsory.

Please mark all uniforms, clothing and shoes with your child's name.

General grooming needs to be done by the parents on a regular basis, especially trimming children's nails
and hair. Girls are to wear their hair tied back and clipped so that no hair falls over their eyes when
bending down. Boys hair is not limited to a certain style but it cannot fall over their eyes when bending
down.

Can we ask that you do not give your uniforms away as we do not want our uniforms to be worn by
children who are not part of Little Life. Please return uniforms if you will not be needing them or alternatively
keep them for sentimental reasons with pleasure. Children are allowed to wear uniforms from the previous
year.

Parent/Teacher Meetings and Parent Evenings
There will be two parent evenings during the year for each age group. These dates will be relayed to you
closer to the time but will take place in the 1st and 3rd terms. These evenings will serve to give you a
glimpse into your child's day. It will serve to show you the children's progress and how your child interacts
in a group setting. Children will come with to the parents evening and do a lesson with the teacher. These
evenings will also serve for the teacher to speak to the group of parents about various topics. There will be
an opportunity for parents to make a meeting with the teacher if you have any concerns which will need to
be addressed on an individual basis.

Parents or teachers can ask to see each other throughout the year if either party has any concerns.

Parent/Principal Meetings
Both parents and the principal are able to make an appointment for a meeting if they have any concerns.
Please speak to the administrator to make an appointment with the principal.

Notebooks
Notebooks are an essential communication tool between the parents/guardians and the school. These
books need to be checked and signed everyday by the parents as well as the administrator This will create
a habit of signing your child's homework book when they go to Primary School. Notes will be put into the
books by the teachers, administrator or principal. Please send in any updated information in these books
that we can update on our system.

Due to the busyness of the mornings at school, please rather write notes in your child's book than relay a
message to a staff member. Staff members, especially when busy with the children, might forget or only
remember half the message.

If the message is on a personal level then you may speak to the teacher but please remember that all staff
are on duty in the mornings and so discussions which will take a while to explain will need to be arranged in
a meeting time with either the principal or teacher.

We are happy to speak to the parents/guardians about various concerns but need to make it in a time
which is fair on all children, staff and parents/guardians. If the discussion required is urgent then an
arrangement can be made as well. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Absenteeism
Parents/Guardians of children who are absent for any reason should phone the school or send an email to
info@mylittlelife.co.za so that we are aware of the reason of your child's absenteeism and can plan
accordingly. If your child will not be at school for an extended time then please arrange with their teacher
to get activities to do while away as to not fall behind the rest of his/ her group when they return to school.

Punctuality
School opens at 7:00am but only starts at 8:00am. All children need to be here by 8:00am when
assembly starts so that important messages can be relayed to them. Please note that all staff members,
except the administrator, need to be at the assembly as well and cannot be pulled away from assembly for
a discussion with a parent unless the discussion required is urgent.

Phone Calls
Please note that phone calls can be taken throughout the day by the administrator and messages can be
relayed to teachers and staff members. Teachers will not be allowed to take phone calls while they are
teaching or on duty unless the phone call is of an urgent nature. Messages will be given to the teachers and
teachers will be able to phone parents/guardians back after school hours or a parent can arrange an
interview time. Thank you for your understanding in this regard.

Reprimanding
Staff will reprimand children in a firm voice but will not be allowed to shout and scream at children unless
the child is at risk of seriously endangering him/herself or another learner. Staff will go down on the child’s
level when they are reprimanding the child and will never be allowed to verbally abuse or belittle the child.
Staff will be firm yet loving and the child will be required to give an apology depending on the situation.

Privileges taken away
Children may have privileges taken away such as having their pudding taken away for the day, not being
allowed to participate in a particular activity or help with setting up beds etc. - this will first come with
warnings.

Time-out
Children will be given a time-out depending on their age. They will be removed from the group (still within the
teachers view) and given time to think about their misdemeanour. After the time-out period the staff
member will go onto the child’s level and discuss the misdemeanour with him/her. The child may have to
give an apology depending on the situation.

Taken to the Principal
Children will be taken to the Principal if they are consistently breaking the same rules or depending on the
school rule being broken. The principal will then discuss the misdemeanour with the child and implement a
strategy of overcoming the behaviour (this may require parents assistance).

Contacting Parents/Guardians
The learners teacher or the principal may write a note to the parent/guardian or arrange an appointment
depending on the individual situation. Interaction between the teacher or principal and the learners parent/
guardian to overcome the misdemeanour will be conducted.

In extreme cases where children are threatening the safety of themselves or the safety of the staff or
learners of Little Life, expulsion may be required.

We also have individual reward systems for the different age groups. Comment cards are placed at the back
of the child’s book and are commented on everyday by the child’s teacher.

Children may get an invite from the principal to go on a special outing for an ice cream or milkshake for
good behaviour or good character noted. Consent forms will need to be signed in order for a child to
participate in this special outing.
