About

Siembamba Kleuterskool

Siembamba has been established 40 years ago by Mignonne van Heerden, who is the owner and director of Siembamba. The school is dedicated to a loving and accelerated learning environment for our children and families. We are very involved in our local community and welfare projects as well as environmental awareness programs.

Class teachers receive their children warmly at the school gate each morning. The well-being of our school families and children is of vital importance to us.

Our principal, Elri van Heerden, is a Foundation phase teacher with additional qualifications and experience in Grade R teaching, music, remedial teaching and special needs education.
