Life at Little Bean
A loving, homely early learning environment where tiny beans blossom into confident little learners.
Little Bean was founded on the belief that the earliest years of a child's life are the most formative — and that the environment in which they spend those years matters enormously. We set out to create something that felt less like an institution and more like an extension of home.
The result is an early learning centre where children feel genuinely safe, deeply cared for, and free to explore and grow. Our small class sizes mean every child receives individual attention, and our qualified teachers understand that learning at this age is all about joy, discovery and relationship.
Little Bean has two campuses — our original Weltevreden Park school (est. 2001) and our Radiokop campus, which is co-located with Oak Hill Academy for easy family transitions.
We welcome children from 18 months through to Grade R, with each class carefully structured for that stage of development.
From 18 months
Warm, nurturing care in a safe and stimulating environment, building early social skills and confidence.
Toddler / Junior
Building language, motor skills and social confidence through guided play and exploration.
Senior / Pre-Grade R
Creative learning through art, music, stories and structured activities — building a love of learning from the start.
🏫 Looking for Grade R? Grade R is offered at both campuses — at Weltevreden Park through Little Bean 1, and at Radiokop through Oak Hill Academy. Both give children a smooth, familiar transition into the primary school years.
Our early learning programme is holistic — it addresses the full development of the child, not just academic readiness. We focus on:
Linguistic development, vocabulary building, comprehension skills and the love of stories.
Number concepts, problem-solving and logical thinking introduced through play and practical activity.
Art, music, drama and imaginative play to develop creativity, expression and fine motor skills.
Gross and fine motor activities, outdoor play and movement to support healthy physical growth.
Building empathy, resilience, self-regulation and positive relationships with peers and adults.
