Absolutely phenomenal school.
Little Caterpillars is a phenomenal school, my child has gone from a very withdrawal little boy with very fussy eating habits to a complete "out of the box" little boy who eats absolutely everything now. The staff are great and definitely go the extra mile ALWAYS! The facilities are clean and neat. I highly recommend Little Caterpillars.
Excellent School
We enrolled my daughter about two years ago at Little Caterpillars Beaulieu, Midrand. Since then our little girls has thrived and growen emmensly. She absolutely loves school, her teachers and all her little friends. School holidays and long weekends she constantly askes us how long before she can return to school again. Her intellect has sky rocket since we put her in this school and socially she has grown emmensly.
My son was enrolled at the same school when he was 4 months and is 15months now. We could not have asked for a better school and teachers for such a little baby. In this time he has been with Little Caterpillars he has always met his milestones in advance, adores his teacher (Angie) so much when he gets to school he starts looking for her.
Both my children has healthy appetites and we are at all times aware of what they had at school to eat and how much. The school communicates through a book in each childs bag what the meal plan for the week is and we have marked for our little baby what we do not want him to consume at first during the time we weaned him onto solid food. The school made sure that our custom requests for this has been respected. The meals and snacks are well planned and as a parent I feel they are well balanced between healthy meals and snacks. I tend to sometimes ask my eldest how her day was and what she ate to initiate a conversation and her answers were always the same as per the meal plans.
Weekly our children's blankets are being sent home for us to wash and return to school on Monday. I love this as you can ensure their blankets are clean and fresh with a extra touch from home with your own laundry scent. Majority of the time the blankets return cleaner than the children's blankets we have at home and they play with. Dirty clothes from playing or crafts are always neatly placed in a plastic bag in our childrens bags and I often find that the teachers rinsed their clothes if it got dirty as well to not stain.
Communication is at a next level at this school. We frequently communicate with teachers, the head master of the school and thus via each childs book, in person and phone calls. There is no extra options such as Whatsapp groups and 24/7 access to cameras like other schools but we get more and clear communicate. The goal for the teachers and headmaster is at all times to look after the kiddies to the best of each ones unique requirements and needs.
I am a very satisfied mommy that can drop off her babies every morning at this wonderful school and know my babies are safe, loved, fed and well looked after. I know the headmaster and teachers will phone us if there is something wrong.
This is a school I would highly recommend to any parent!!

Little caterpillars school or second home
I have 2 children enrolled in the school, well it cannot even be called their school. It is their second home. I could say a thousand great things about the school.
My children are taught not to make it a secret when they dont someone, they follow that to a tee. But when it teachers at little caterpillars, they love and adore them. My 15 month old has showed so much progression. He is as fit as a fiddle. So much compliments from GPS and other parent on hos health and manners. With him being at school most part of the week. Little caterpillars are to thank for that. His teacher is a super star, if we ask something she makes sure it gets done, no mus no fuss. We cannot thank her enough.
Then our 5 year old has no shame in telling us when something is wrong. She makes it no secret when something is wrong. She came from a school where she begged us not to go to school. Because there are children not treated as they should. So we decide to move her to Little caterpillars. After meeting with owners, it wasn't much of a decision anymore , they were the answer. They are loving and caring people. The principal promised us they will make sure my princess is looked after. She has gone above and beyond. The growth mentally and physically has been phenomenal. My child went from begging to stay home each day ,to begging to go to school. The school holidays are to long for her. Now if that's not a sign of a child being happy at a school. Then i don't know what it.
If i could i would go back in time and Enrolled myself here as a kid. My children are like pigs in the mud here. Not as dirty but as happy.
If you want a place where your child would strive. Look no further little caterpillars, they have your back. A second home like none other.
I cannot thank each staff working at little caterpillars beaulieu enough. Keep up the outstanding work.

Little caterpillars Kyalami
I enrolled my son in Little Catterpillars when he was 3 years old and he's currently 7 and in Grade 1. His intellectual and emotional growth has been phenomenal under the guidance of his teachers. He absolutely loves school so much that he usually has a count down to return to school in January.
My daughter was enrolled when 3 months old and she's also so happy here.
The school is clean, the meals nutritious and the teachers attentive.
The school owner is very hands on and is in regular communication with parents, be it to give school updates, or for any concerns big or small.
The school weekly themes, extra murals, bakers man on Fridays and fun school events are a massive hit with my son.
I'm fairly sure the school looks after my kids better than I do, and I've gotten best mom awards from my son for 6 years in a row, so they've got me to compete with 😀
I can't recommend little caterpillars enough.

Your comments have been noted by Little Caterpillars and will be attended to accordingly- thank you for the feedback.
PLEASE PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN!!!
Before I start please do know that I have evidence and screenshots to prove every one of my claims in this message. The sad thing is that this school doesnt take accountability for their wrongdoings instead they send letters of demand and try to shut the parents up from making negative reviews. I believe mothers out there have the right to know everything about the school they are putting their child into.
I have had this school post a fake review directly aimed at my review to make it look like the school doesnt have issues. The fake review claimed that they saw the cctv footage had the right dates.... well i have a screenshot from the principal saying otherwise.
PLEASE PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN!!! DO NOT PUT THEM IN THIS SCHOOL
What a horrible experience. PLEASE DO NOT PUT YOUR CHILD IN THIS PLACE.
The first month my 9 month old little baby was placed in this school she got sever sunburn and heatstroke. The school is dirty and sends children home covered in mud and dirt. They dont even bother to wipe her face.
They fed her sugar, chocolate pudding and Willards cheese curls ( like that is a healthy meal a baby should have) and she got FLEAS !!!!
The teachers are rude and underhanded and the principal takes your money making all kinds of promises to you about what their school can do for you but then she doesn't meet one promise.
I had to take my little girl out immediately after finding out she caught fleas at the school. I received no refund for the week I had to find someone to look after her due to the negligence of the school . who is going to send their baby to a school that leaves their child in the sun in sand to get sever sunburn even though she had a hat and sunscreen packed in and then on top of that she got flea bites all over which i confirmed with a doctors visit.
The cctv cameras have the wrong dates on and dont work properly.
They took my money for a Christmas present event they were going to have in mid December which i took my daughter out the school in November and they refused to refund me for the gift even though she was out of the school long before the Christmas day event.
The principal also disclosed to me that she has special needs child in the school which she cannot cater for but she is too afraid to tell the parents they cant have their kid there because they cannot cater for the special needs of the child. She went on to tell me how the special needs child lashes out at the other kids and bites them and hurts them. This place is a disaster and totally unsafe for children.
Please if you love your child, rather pay the extra few Rands to put them in a more decent school with a better reputation where the principal actually has your best interests at heart and doesn't just want to steal your money.
Another thing this school does is takes down negative reviews so that the public cannot see that there have been problems at this school. This is totaly wrong parents deserve to know where there have been issues. If this school really wants to better themselves they would not take down negative reviews they would use them and strive to improve. Instead you get sent a letter of demand where they try to scare you into removing your post. I WILL NOT BE SCARED. I HAVE PROOF FOR EVERY ONE OF MY CLAIMS IN THIS POST. SO BRING IT ON!! TAKE ME TO COURT!! Mothers deserve to know about this place so they dont waist their money.
On top of all of this they contact your employer behind your back. The ccd my husband and my boss but never ccd me. and this is a personal issue has nothing to do with my work but they emailed my work to make sure they all know whats going on. Save yourself the drama stay away from this bad place.
