Dream~Play~Grow

A happy, safe pre-school for children from 3 months to 6 years old. We follow the CAPS curriculum, have caring teachers, and use a drop-off and collection system that knows exactly who took every child home.

SafeCollect: the register, without the pen

Children are still handed over on the veranda, just like now. Instead of signing the book, parents scan the QR code with their own phone. The teacher's register updates instantly, and only approved people can collect your child.

Step 1

Scan on the veranda

Phone camera, no app to install.

Step 2

Tap drop off or collect

Each tap is recorded with the time and name.

Step 3

Only approved people

Anyone else needs a teacher's approval and an ID check.

Step 4

Nobody forgotten

Staff are alerted if a child isn't collected by closing time.
