Home | Hug Bug Playschool ~ "Be the person you needed most as a child"
Our Story
Hug Bug Playschool opened on 17 January 2018 with Anja Fockema, who is a qualified early childhood development Montessori and Drama teacher, as the founder and principal. She has been working with children for almost 15 years, ranging from au-pairing, providing entertainment at parties, teaching drama, working as a pre-school teacher and now owning and running her beloved Hug bug Playschool.
"My passion and love for children goes above and beyond. My experience with children taught me how extremely important a child’s early childhood development is and how desperately todays children, in a world filled with technology, require free play to grow their physical, emotional, social and fine motor development. I will never stop learning from these precious children and I will never stop researching, observing and improving my method of teaching and sharing this knowledge with my staff." ~ Anja Fockema
What makes Hug Bug Playschool so special?
Our Hug Bug family's passion, love, growth, teamwork, attention to detail, observation and understanding of what our Hug Buggies need is what Hug Bug Playschool is all about.
We focus intensely on individual attention with a true passion, love and care for each little one. We are so aware of each little ones personality, mood, likes and dislikes. Every day is a new day and some days your little one needs a bit of extra cuddles or alone time. Whatever it is your little one needs, we are here to provide it.
We truly go that extra mile for each little one because we do what we love. We encourage confidence and independence by encouraging them to do activities by themselves.
Our Mission
Stimulating and progressing your little one’s early childhood development in a loving, fun, creative and warm environment. Allowing them to learn through play!
Our goal is to be a positive influence on what kind of human your little one will become one day.
The importance of free play
Free play is important for healthy brain development, allowing children to use their creativity, while developing coordination, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, imagination, dexterity, cognitive and physical abilities. Free play is a tool for developing a child as a whole.
Free play gives children an outlet to express their emotions and feelings which helps them develop a sense of who they are and builds the foundation for a lifetime of learning.
Time spent outdoors is an important part of the daily program and provides them with the opportunity to explore, discover and appreciate the natural world, test physical limits and get messy.
