Duduza – Lala’s Aftercare Learning Lounge Pty (LTD) was established in February 2022 with the goal of supporting working parents and those living with grandparents.
This ensures that children enjoy a safe, engaging, and productive space after school hours. The programme is located at Mary Jane crèche in Masechaba, Duduza.
It caters for a maximum of 60 children, with two assistants for more personalised attention and quality care. The aftercare programmes cater for learners in grades one until 10 and offer assistance with homework, spelling and comprehension, exam preparations and project assistance.
“Our program runs from 15:00 to 17:30, ensuring children have enough time for learning, relaxation, and recreation after school.
“We help improve reading in Afrikaans, English and Isizulu. We also focus on the needs that parents request such as a child struggling with maths or reading.
“We also offer counselling sessions from time to time just to check where the children are mentally,” said the owner and founder of the programme Lalla Sekabate.
Lalla shared the importance of aftercare programmes stating that they contribute positively to the learners’ learning journey.
