Knysna Education Trust

When you invest in a child’s early education, you are making a difference to their future. At KET, our team is driven to assist all children from birth to 6 years old to achieve critical early development milestones. We are committed to the growth of our programme reach, whilst always ensuring that the joys of youth are developed in every life we touch. The donations we receive from around the world to maintain, expand, and give life to our worthy programmes and projects.

From Playgrounds to Prosperity

Teacher Training

We provide ongoing professional development, accredited training, and on-site mentoring to develop educators that are competent, passionate, and attentive to a child’s learning needs.

Literacy and Numeracy

These children could be anything – with the right beginning. KET’s carefully devised, fun, and multi-sensory programmes develop an invaluable foundation for lifelong understanding of key literacy and mathematical concepts.

Emotional and Nutritional Wellbeing

KET currently supports feeding schemes in the most vulnerable ECD sites and conducts training programmes to improve the overall physical development and emotional wellbeing of young children.

Parent and Caregiver Training

It all begins at home. KET trains educators to develop parents’ ECD knowledge. Parents are empowered to access ECD services and increase their skills to better support and improve child development outcomes at home

ECD and Aftercare Registration

ECD and aftercare registration contributes to centre sustainability and the creation of a stable learning environment. The dedicated registration team’s support services include principal capacity development, implementing a Site Learning Programme, administrative support, governance training, and funding for infrastructure improvements.

No Child Left Behind

Our SmartStart partnership creates access to an ECD programme in underserved and remote areas. The bursary ACE programme provides school fee support and the Blocks for Growth Programme assists children who are behind in their developmental milestones to get back on track.

Help us to provide hope and dignity through education. By donating to the ACE programme, you will cover a child’s fees for one year, ensuring that the child will be safe, receive meals and, above all, experience a quality preschool education.
