Educating the Young
Education Brings Hope for the Future
Little Lambs is a Christian daycare centre in Imizamo Yethu, Hout Bay (Cape Town) that gives children aged 1–6 a safe, loving, and nurturing start to life.
We provide high quality early childhood education, daily meals, and spiritual care to help each child grow in confidence, curiosity, and character. In a community facing real challenges, Little Lambs is a place of hope — preparing children not just for school, but for life.
Who We Are
Little Lambs Christian Daycare and Educare is a registered South African NPO and Public Benefit Organisation..
Founded in 1999 the vision of Little Lambs is to create an Early Childhood Development facility for the Imizamo Yethu community where children are cared for in a loving environment. We teach Christian values and basic life skills and prepare children for formal schooling by employing members of the community and empowering them to become capable and confident career educators.
What We Do
Our main objective is to provide children aged 1 to 6 years with high-quality holistic education and care. They receive a high-quality preschool education by creating accessible and affordable childcare for families, giving the child that extra head start and preparing them for school.
Where We Are
The informal settlement of Imizamo Yethu is situated in the picturesque seaside suburb of Hout Bay in Cape Town. Imizamo Yethu has a population of roughly 60,000 residents, who are mainly of isiXhosa from the Eastern Cape, together with immigrants from the rest of Africa.
