About Us

Pikkie Park Educare didn’t start as a business — it started as a calling. For over 30 years, we’ve been a second home to the families of Welgelegen and the surrounding Northern Suburbs. What began as a small educare centre has grown into a beloved institution where children of all ages, from tiny babies to confident Grade 7 learners, come to learn, play, and thrive.

The name ‘Pikkie Park’ reflects our philosophy: this is a place for ‘pikkies’, the little ones. But over the years, those pikkies have grown up, and many have come back to us as parents, entrusting their own children to the same caring hands that once looked after them. This multi-generational trust is what sets Pikkie Park apart.

Our staff are the heart of everything we do. Many of our teachers and caregivers have been with us for 20, 25, even 30 years. This isn’t just longevity for the sake of it, it’s a testament to the culture of care, respect, and belonging that defines Pikkie Park. When you walk through our doors, you’re not just dropping your child off, you’re joining a family.

Situated in the tranquil, tree-lined suburb of Welgelegen at the foot of Tygerberg Hill, Pikkie Park offers a peaceful, safe haven where children can be children. We serve families from across the Northern Suburbs, Welgelegen, Plattekloof, Edgemead, Monte Vista, Panorama, and beyond, and we’re proud to be a trusted part of this vibrant community.

Whether your child is taking their first steps in our baby room, exploring the world as a curious toddler, or tackling homework in our aftercare programme, they’ll be met with warmth, encouragement, and the kind of care that only comes from genuine experience and love.
