A registered preschool in Olivedale, Randburg.
Toddies is a play-based preschool where little ones learn through doing, exploring and discovering. From babies to a proper Grade R year, we grow curious, confident, school-ready children in one warm, family-run home since 1999. Every day is Open Day, so pop in whenever suits you.
A preschool where play does the teaching.
Choosing a preschool in Olivedale or Randburg often comes down to one question: will my child actually love being here? At Toddies, learning is built around thematic, hands-on play, because that’s how young children genuinely make sense of the world. Every week brings a new theme to paint, sing, build and talk about, so numbers, letters and ideas land naturally instead of being drilled.
Behind all that fun is a serious goal: real school readiness. Our teachers are qualified and experienced, our adult-to-child ratios stay low, and children move up through the classes ready for whatever comes next, right through to a structured Grade R that has them reading and writing before big school.
More than day care, a real preschool.
