Why families choose us

A different kind of preschool.

Avalon is intentionally small, intentionally warm, and intentionally rooted in something more than a curriculum.

🏡

A home away from home

Warm, secure spaces where children settle in fast and parents stop worrying by week one.

🛡️

Safe & secure always

Inside Avalon Estate, with controlled access and watchful eyes on every child, all day long.

🌱

Play that builds minds

Hands-on learning, home-cooked meals, outdoor time, and the kind of unhurried days kids need.

💛

Educators who love this

Decades of experience, gentle hands, and Christian values lived out one tiny moment at a time.

A day at Avalon

Painting, climbing, napping, growing.

Every room is hand-painted by local artists. Every corner has something to discover.

Tucked inside Avalon Estate

A quiet corner of Durbanville built for little ones.

Avalon Estate is one of Durbanville’s most established Christian-family neighbourhoods. Within its walls you’ll find leafy streets, controlled access, and a calm, safe environment that’s perfect for little ones to grow.

We’ve called it home for over two decades — and so have many of the children who started here as babies and now bring their younger siblings.

Babies
3 – 12 months

Gentle routines, lots of cuddles, sensory play, and the calm a baby needs to feel at home.

First words, first songs, first friendships. Soft introductions to little routines and group play.

Elephants

Letters, numbers, scissors, stories. The foundations of school, built through play.

Pre-reading, problem-solving, focus, and friendships. Confident kids ready for big-kid school.

Every program includes

The little things, done well.

Wholesome, home-cooked meals

A four-week rotating menu, prepared on-site in our own kitchen — fresh fruit, real vegetables, no shortcuts.

02

Daily updates for parents

Real-time photos, messages, naps, meals and milestones. You’ll never wonder how the day went.

Tailored development

Activities matched to each age and stage, rooted in Christian values and a deep love for the work.

Wilma Schütz, founder of Koningspikkies

Meet Wilma

25 years. Thousands of children. One simple belief.

Wilma Schütz has built Koningspikkies around a single idea: a happy child learns, grows, and thrives. From early-morning hugs to homemade lunches, she leads our team with warmth, faith, and the kind of attention only a lifetime of practice provides.

Almost every family who tours leaves with the same feeling — that their child will be loved here, exactly the way they’re loved at home.

“Happy children grow into curious, kind, capable adults. That’s all we want for yours.”
Wilma Schütz
Founder & Principal, Koningspikkies Avalon
