Not only do we ensure putting the interest of your child first, but we also offer extra holiday care and after care services, where your child will be under great professional care. Holiday care and after care can turn the aimless hours after school into fruitful learning time for your children, which is a huge benefit for children with learning and attention issues.

Normally children are given homework on a daily basis and after care programs provide academic support by offering structured homework assistance. Homework can often cause tension between kids who are slow learners and their parents, therefore getting it done during after care can only reduce the friction and allow everyone to have a more pleasant and relaxing evening.

Holiday and after care also improves your child’s social skills; a fundamental aspect in the learning fraternity as it helps build confidence among others and be able to communicate across their thoughts freely. Our well-structured program promotes cooperation, support and respect. This helps individuals feel more secure about joining a game or starting a conversation. Supervision is provided as well, giving each student an environment where they can learn within a controlled and monitored environment.

Our after care at Kim Field Academy makes learning more fun. In classes for Science and Computers there are no strict tests and children are allowed to work in groups. For children with learning and attention issues, these classes can be stress-free, great fun and undoubtedly more meaningful. Kids love music and drama and this can help them find areas of new interests.

It’s also important to keep in mind that some individuals learn better in more relaxed environments. Our holiday and after care services have helped numerous pupils in becoming more confident and improve greatly in their daily learning process.

Education is the vital process that takes a lifetime of learning in order to understand how systems operate.  Learning entails the knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits of a certain individual or faculty. There are various modes to education, namely storytelling, discussion, teaching, training, and directed research.

The common method of learning is usually sending a child to school where a teacher educates your child. However, for many decades educators have been stressed about the importance of continuing education at home, as we emphasize this because we have seen magnificent improvements in the developments of children who receive additional education at home.  Education can occur in a formal or casual setting and any experience that formatively affects the way one thinks, feels, or acts might be viewed as education.

Whether it is after school or on weekends, spending time teaching your child or children will most definitely improve their performance in school. Research shows that the parental impact on exams is five times greater than any other component, therefore we as parents need to continue with education at home to maximise their academic performance.

Additional activities to do at home:

• Read storybooks – this helps them to identify both the meaning and the spelling of words, which of course helps their vocabulary and spelling all at once.

• Play sports- opening up your child’s mind to vast activities such as soccer, swimming, and netball which all helps with the circulation of blood and the transportation of oxygen to their brains. Playing sports also helps you build your child’s individual self.

• Exercise- the sports that you engage in can be a way of exercising. Remember that fitness is extremely important for developing minds and bodies.

• Chores- as much as children hate chores, they actually help them to learn responsibility. Working in the garden teaches patience, care and hard work. Chores can give them an advantage in the classroom, with obedience, leadership, and even confidence.

• Helping out with projects- this does not mean that you complete the entire project for them but you can help to explain what is required of them. Brainstorming and discussions also help in this case.

• Trips- take your children to museums and educational places that will broaden their knowledge and perspective in life.

Learning does not have to be a drag, look for exciting things to do and soon you will be raising geniuses! Continuing education at home can be both fun and educating for you and your family.

There are seven domains in the early education learning environment.

Here at Kim Field Academy we incorporate these seven domains into our teaching practices:

1. Language: Young minds are quite complex since they are learning and developing every single day. Alphabetic skills, oral communication and written language are fundamental language skill sets that Kim Field integrates in everyday learning.

2. Cognitive: This is where young children are attaining cause-and-effect reasoning concepts. Connecting experiences with a representation of symbols.

3. Gross Motor Skills: Kim Field Academy caters for children from 6 months to 6 years old. These crucial years sees major developments like learning how to crawl, walk and run. Our academy firmly believes in a balance between academia and physical education.  

4. Fine Motor Skills: Precise control such as hand-eye coordination or colouring and writing skills categorises this domain.

5. Self-Help & Adaptive: Independence cannot be forcefully taught. It is a gradual process of the self children usually adapt quite quickly to self advancement.

6. Social & Emotional: Kim Field Academy has 15 children in a class. This allows for pupils to integrate with other children their own age and develop vital social skills for the future.

7. Spiritual & Moral: One of the most important aspects in today’s society is maintaining a kind and loving world. Kim Field encompasses mannerisms that pupils will apply throughout their lives.

The South African education system may not be the best in the world, but it certainly isn’t the worst. We have a wide spectrum of public schools, as well as international and private schools. All of these schools offer something different; some are co-ed while others are single-gender, and some schools offer boarding as an alternative to a day school.

Some schools in Johannesburg are even faith-based.  All of the above mentioned  types of schools have their own reputations, some with an excellent track record and some with an average record. Every type of school has its own set of benefits.  We  are about to take a closer look at the perks of sending your children to a private school here in Johannesburg.

Let’s say you have recently relocated to this beautiful country, South Africa.The second most important thing after the safety of your family is probably finding a reputable school for your children.

Below are three features of private schools that make them the best option for your children’s education.

Academics

The first advantage of enrolling your child in a private school is the fact they are provided with an exceptional and challenging educational experience. This is achieved through advanced courses and extramural activities that are focused specifically on your child’s strongest areas, while improving their weaker ones.

Smaller Classes

In South Africa, the standard learner-teacher ratio is 40:1 for primary schools and 35:1 for secondary schools. This indicates the uneven distribution of attention to each learner’s academic needs. In private schools, however, there are a smaller number of learners in each class. Depending on the type of school, the maximum number of learners is usually 20 per class. Reassuring you, the parent, of an optimum learning experience for your child.

Sufficient Resources & Extramural Activities

Private schools offer a wide range of resources to support learners in both the classroom, on the field and even in the pool, depending on your childs preference. They are able to source experts, latest equipment and technology, which enables the learner to fully explore their talents. The other perk of private schools is that they encourage learners to participate in extramural activities such as sports, acting, music and art, among other cultural activities.

Early childhood and middle childhood are such precious growth stages; when children are at these stages of their development, everything in the world is wonderful and the possibilities are endless. Children at this stage are constantly riding on a magic carpet ride of imagination. Dance is an excellent way of getting your young one to tap even deeper into that well of magic and wonder.

What are the Benefits of Dance for my child?

Children who are between the ages of 3-11 years have a wild and vivid imagination; they are already making up stories in their minds, and dance provides them with a medium through which they can tell those stories to the world.

If you enroll your child into a dance class, the following benefits of dance are guaranteed:

A self-esteem and confidence boost:
The first dance class is like a mountain; the first time your child sees it, he or she will think that it is too high to climb but after a few lessons, they will be a step closer to the top. Dance will give your child something to work towards achieving and once they have mastered the steps, that feeling of accomplishment is priceless; your child will have a renewed sense of self.  

They learn to follow instructions at a young age:

The great thing about a dance class is that the children are taught in steps; this is a great opportunity, and a fun way, for your child to learn how to follow instructions. Additionally, it is a great way of developing your child’s attention span.

 An opportunity to express themselves:
Dance gives your children a platform to tell stories through movement. Dance is a language that has a limitless vocabulary! Your child can find and express themselves through dance.
