Welcome to Beanstalk House
Newlands, Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa
Our playschool is a happy, nurturing place where little imaginations run free and every day is filled with discovery. From joyful outdoor adventures to creative indoor play, children are encouraged to explore the world around them through hands-on, play-based learning.
We welcome children age 18 months (child dependant)/2 years to 4 years old into a warm, caring environment where routines are gentle and flexible, allowing each child to feel safe, settled, and confident. Our days are sprinkled with stories, songs, messy play, laughter, and moments of wonder that support growing minds and hearts.
Most importantly, we create a space where children feel loved, valued, and excited to learn-where little voices are heard, tiny achievements are celebrated, and childhood is truly cherished.
Meet Your Teacher
Shannon Whitten
Playschool Owner
I love that children are all different and unique and like fingerprints, no two children are the same. I had the privilege of working with a range of ages, from 3 months of age all the way to 12 years of age. The toddler years are by far my favourite as you get to experience many developmental milestones or progresses with them. To me, it's like watching the life cycle of a caterpillar. They have changed and grown so much from the time they started with you, to the time they graduate from your group. I feel so privileged to be a part of that process.
Testimonials
Shannon has been so welcoming and warm. Some schools and teachers make parents feel as if transitioning our kids into school should just work in a formula but she has been so understanding of our routine adjustment time and how our daughter has taken time to settle and been so loving, communicates super well to us parents, very reliable in terms of communicating what they got up to during the day and letting us know who is next ahead of time for the snack duty.
Melissa
Shannon is a warm, loving and patient teacher, and has a special relationship with each of her children. We have seen our son flourish from a young toddler into a little boy under the wing of Shannon’s kind and gentle approach to playschool. The kids absolutely burst with joy in her presence. She is truly a gem!
