Our parents

Honeycomb Montessori Preschool is a parent-run preschool. We know that parents together with educators play a vital role in their child’s education. We invite parents to join us in making that journey as rewarding and enriching as possible.

While each parent has a different amount of time to contribute, we welcome even the smallest acts of involvement. Whether it’s planting seedlings in our garden, donating supplies for maintenance or assisting with annual fundraising, there is a place and time for everyone.

Our parents are a community. Representing the rich cultural diversity of Cape Town, they form support networks, playdate groups and often build lifelong friendships.

Honeycomb’s Governing Body

Our Governing Body oversees the management of the preschool. It is made up of the Principal, an elected staff representative and a minimum of four elected parents. The Governing Body is the ‘head’ of our preschool, taking responsibility for policies, future planning, finances and staff appointments.

Volunteer Committees

Parent Committees function as the ‘hands’ of our preschool. Parents who volunteer on our committees take part in projects that improve our school and our community. Parents may contribute as much as commitments allow, with all levels of help greatly appreciated by the staff and the children.
