At Joe Simon Pre-Primary School, we offer a curriculum that covers all learning areas prescribed by the Western Cape Education Department. Our curriculum is designed to maintain a high standard of education while providing extra assessments to our students.

If you are a busy parent juggling work and family life, you understand how crucial it is to have a reliable aftercare center for your child. Finding the right aftercare center can be a challenging task, as you want to ensure that your child is in a safe and nurturing environment that offers quality care and fun activities. Look no further than Joe Simon Pre-Primary, the ideal choice for parents looking for a dedicated and trustworthy aftercare center.
We also offer a wide variety of extra mural activities. This takes place during school hours, usually before 09:00 in the mornings. Learners will be fetched at the classrooms from where they will go to the hall or outside where the activity will take place.
Our extra mural teachers and coaches are paid separately into their specific bank accounts and this doesn’t go through our books. Please note that you will have a separate contract with those people and that extra mural activities are not compulsory.
