We had our son of 3 in Kidino Kids in Gordon's bay for a few months. I would just like to warn parents who may be in the same position as us, looking for a school and who do not know the area. At face value everything looks okay, but one soon starts wondering. On various occasions we found kids glued to the TV, watching things as inappropriate as batman - the kids were 2-3 years old! The principle had mostly unmotivated staff working for her who spent their time sitting under a tree. She rarely ventured outside. All the toys had to stay inside and there were no toys in the sandpit. I assume this was so she and her staff would not have to pick anything up. She had small kids coming in a 6 and let them watch TV until 8, when lessons started. That is more than what any child should watch in a day, right there. The last straw was that our son told us one of the staff members hit him because he did not want to sleep. The principle first denied this, then said she does not know, then promised me feedback - which I off course never received. In spite of the aforementioned criminal behaviour - if I had to sum up the school and principle in one word - it would be lazy.
