Chas Everitt Northern Suburbs Supports JC-daycare
JC-daycare
centre opened its doors in January 2003 in Morningstar, Durbanville, a previously
disadvantaged residential area. Today they have 54 preschool children and 30
after school children in their care.
They have five full time staff members. They also have volunteers who help with
a reading program and other activities for the children.
They work together with the Social Workers, in cases of abuse in the families.
A reading program is being run, to make sure that the children do not get behind,
due to overcrowded classrooms at the schools. A lot of enrichment activities
are also presented by volunteers, in order to stimulate the children on all
levels.
JC-daycare is run only on sponsorships from the comunity.
Chas Everitt Northern Suburbs in conjunction with retail stores around the
area is collecting food supplies for the daycare to keep them going over the
cold and rainy season.
