At Adopt of South African Preschool the joy of learning is not just limited to children!

Meet Winnie, one of our ASAP teachers! Winnie is from Liso Day Care and is being trained by PEN Forum coach Sarah Moya at the newly opened Winterveldt preschool hub outside Pretoria.

To illustrate how to use (known in South African as Daisy Discs) for the curriculum theme "My Family," Winnie creatively crafted sunglasses for grandpa, a bird representing the family's pet, and the family car. She proudly showed her creations to others at the training session Sarah led last Saturday.

The mission of ASAP would not be possible without the ambition and passion of our teachers and their coaches, and we are so proud to share their continued learning with you!
