Vision
Little Heroes Preschool Heart
Little Heroes Preschool was established on the Hillside Church property in January 2008.
Our heart at Little Heroes is to provide a top quality educational experience in a safe, stimulating and loving environment facilitated by a team of dedicated teachers and helpers. Little Heroes Preschool endeavours to promote all aspects of the child’s development, including a positive self-image, confidence, initiative and co-operation. Our goal is to prepare children with the necessary skills and concepts in preparation for formal schooling.
The teachers are passionate about providing encouragement and guidance in parenting skills and creating an environment in which quality family life is preserved and parent-child relationships are honoured.
A Word
From Our Principal
It is our desire to not only equip children with the skills necessary for formal learning to take place, but to create a nurturing, loving and empowering environment in which children can grow, play and learn. We believe that each child is unique! Michelangelo said, “I saw the angel in the marble and I carved until I set him free.” It is our privilege to partner with parents to discover the treasure in each of the children; to set them up for what God has planned and designed for them when He created them. As we steer our children towards the amazing destiny they are created for, and as we sow the principles of the Kingdom of God into their hearts, we see children powerfully bring Heaven to earth in their families and in their communities.

General Information
The preschool day runs from 8am until 12pm. We have early morning drop-off from 7am and there is after care available until 5pm at an additional cost. We have a mid-morning snack time and parents are required to send a healthy snack and juice or water as well as a lunch if your child is attending aftercare.
Children will be admitted to the age group they will be turning that year. We accept children from 4 months old up to Gr 00 (those turning 5 during the year). We accept children from the year in which they turn 1 to the year in which they turn 5 (Gr 00).
To apply you can submit either an online application form, or you can download the application form and email it to us, or you can contact us to have a form emailed to you. Once we have received the completed form, your child’s name will be placed on our waiting list (there is no cost involved in this). Applications are considered mid-year prior to the year of admission and parents will be contacted once places are offered.
Our class sizes are small and we aim as far as possible to have similar boy/girl ratios in each group. All classes have a teacher and an assistant. A number of extra mural activities are offered on the premises.
Payment of school fees may be made in one of the following ways:
- A once off payment in full by 1st February 2026.
