About Dimpho Tsa Rona

Over 30 years of nurturing young minds in our community

Our Story

Founded over three decades ago by Evelyn Machake, Dimpho Tsa Rona (meaning "Our Gifts" in Setswana) was born from a deep commitment to provide quality early childhood education to our community. What started as a small initiative has grown into a trusted institution where hundreds of children have received their first educational experiences.

For more than 30 years, we've been a cornerstone of our community, watching children grow from curious toddlers into confident learners ready for primary school. Our founder's vision was simple yet powerful: every child deserves access to quality early education, regardless of their family's circumstances.

Our Mission

To provide accessible, quality early childhood development and education that nurtures every child's potential in a safe, loving, and stimulating environment. We believe in building strong foundations for lifelong learning.

Our Vision

To be the leading community-based ECD centre where every child, regardless of background, receives exceptional care and education that prepares them for success in school and life.

Our Values

Love, respect, excellence, community, and inclusivity guide everything we do. We celebrate diversity, foster belonging, and treat each child as the unique gift they are to our world.
