The Barnyard School was founded in 2008. Over the years we developed and refined our school structure in such a way that each child is developed holistically. Not only do we provide a loving and safe environment, but also a stimulating and inviting atmosphere. We encourage children to explore their surroundings and to learn new skills. We present a well developed curriculum across all ages which includes activities to develop fine and big motor skills, stimulate cognitive, language and emotional development and further the child's creativity. This being said, we never forget that young children learn and develop through structured and free play. School should be fun after all!
Full tummies and healthy bodies are fundamental to a child's development. That is why we provide four meals every day. Cooked porridge in the morning, fresh fruit and yoghurt for snack, a cooked meal with fresh veggies, a protein and starch for lunch (beef, chicken or fish) and a yummy freshly baked muffin or oat crunchie for an afternoon snack. On Friday's we have free range, organic scramble eggs with brown bread, fruit snacks, a fun food for lunch (hamburgers, hotdogs, vetkoek or ham and cheese sandwiches) and a freshly baked afternoon snack. To keep our children hydrated, we provide warm rooibos tea with honey in winter, iced rooibos tea in summer, hot chocolate once a week for a treat. Fresh borehole water will always be available on the playground.
