Our story

Siyakhula — meaning "we are growing" — was established in 2008 in Barcelona, Gugulethu, with one big dream: that every child in our community deserves a joyful, safe and stimulating start to life.

Today we care for 111 little learners aged 0 to 5 years, guided by qualified ECD practitioners who treat every child like family. Our doors are open Monday to Friday, 6:00am to 6:00pm.
