Kidz R Us Playschool
Specializing in Early Years!
"Dream , Believe , Achieve"
Kidz R Us is a privately owned pre-school and is registered with the Department of Health and the Department of Social Development.
The registration of our Grade R class with the Department of Education is being processed.
We have built a very good relationship with the local Primary Schools that our children move on to when graduating from Grade R.
We have a full play- based curriculum which ensures the children achieve their learning goals, and that the work covered prepares our children for entry to local government schools.
Our curriculum combines CAPS, play based learning and outdoor work, we also use a synthetic phonics approach.
We believe that children thrive in an environment which values their own uniqueness, while providing support and opportunities to grow emotionally, socially and creatively.
To provide a safe, happy, caring, secure and stimulating environment for our children.
To enable all children to develop to their capabilities as successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors to society.
What We’re All About
Kidz R Us was founded in 2017 under the leadership and direction of Hazel Ann Murphy.
Hazel trained in the UK and has a Bachelor and Master’s in Education.
She taught primary and nursery aged children for over 20 years, during that time she oversaw an early year’s unit taking charge of children and staff.
Hazel’s childhood dream was to own her own preschool and teach children through planned, purposeful play provision.
“Children need the freedom and time to play.
Play is not a luxury. Play is a necessity.”
-Kay Redfield Jamieson
Kidz R Us is a trusted, caring, and responsible school in a safe suburb and my husband and I have no doubt that Hazel is an asset to the Amanzimtoti community.
Our daughter has grown since being under the care of Hazel and her team and we simply wouldn’t trust anyone else with her early year’s education.
Having interviewed a few playschools in the area, it was only Kidz R Us that we felt offered us a safe, enriching environment for our daughter and a hand’s on Principal and Educator who had an interest in early years education.
In fact, Hazel was the only Principal to show a passion for her career, her school, and the children’s development.
