All children need to dream. Dreams create fairy-tale-like futures in the mind of children, enabling them to think beyond their reality. Unfortunately, not all children are given the opportunity to dream.
Sunny Kids were established in 2021 and is located in the Sunny Side Community, in Orchard, De Doorns.
A Child’s brain develops more in the first 5 years than in any other time during their lives. These precious years have a big impact on their health, emotional well-being, and the general direction their lives will take. At Sunny Kids we help children, aged 3 to 6 to change their dreams into a reality.
Proverbs 22:6 says: “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” To fulfil this God-given vision, we had to create a school of excellence that equips children on a daily basis, in order to help them reach their full potential. We aim to give these unprivileged children beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and the garments of praise for heaviness. So that they will be called trees of righteousness, knowing they were planted by God to increase His glory.
Our first ECD program was established in De Doorns, Western Cape in 2017. Sunny Kids created 10 jobs and currently cares for and educates 51 learners between the ages of three and six. The centre is growing and expansion is underway. Soon we will double our capacity and improve the lives of an additional 40 children.
Several parents are seasonal workers and often struggle to contribute to yearly school fees. A small recurring gift will offer continued education of young minds and the development of strong bodies.
We currently have 10 teachers and cares for 51 learners.
