Our Story
Situated in the heart of the Macassar/Deep Freeze community is Bundles of Joy, a daycare center that nurtures tomorrow’s leaders by taking a serious approach to enable children to learn through play.
Bundles of Joy’s founder, Mary Wales has noticed children growing up in poverty-stricken communities of Deep Freeze and Macassar area. Children playing in the streets unattended during the time when children were most vulnerable and suppose to receive a quality education. Armed by this and with the age-old African proverb – “IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD”, Mary’s idea of opening an Early Childhood Development Centre was birthed at heart. She believed that every child has the right to be fed, cared for, and a quality education which led her to the beginning roots of Bundles of Joy in 2015.
Established in a new building on September 2020, Bundles of Joy has evolved into a key pillar of the community, providing a safe, nurturing environment for children ages 3 months to 6 years.
All Bundle of Joy educators are responsible to execute a learning plan to ensure that kids achieve their developmental milestones, expose kids to a range of topics about the world around them, and prepare them for Grade 1.
Some of Bundles of Joy’s extracurricular activities include Music and Dance Classes for kids 3 months to Grade R, Computer Classes for kids aged 2 to 6 years, and Robotic and Coding Classes for Grade RR and Grade R learners (this is also part of the current CAPS curriculum).
Everyone (including the teachers) participates in the annual concert which is the highlight for parents, kids, and educators alike.
In addition to a well-structured learning environment, children also receive a healthy breakfast, hot lunch, and snacks every day.
All our kids wear their school uniform with pride.
This uniform levels the playing field for children from different socioeconomic backgrounds.

Children learn as they play. Most importantly, in play children learn how to learn.
