Our Story

The Pre-school has been in existence for almost forty years – and has been known as Ouma Oumi Pre-school for almost three decades! The school is currently owned by – Ingrid de Koker, who is fulfilling her dreams and passion of making a difference in young ones’ lives! Wondered where we got our unique name from? A previous owner, Naomi, was nicked-name Ouma Oumi by the children…and the rest is history! Over the years our school has grown from strength to strength. We can currently accommodate over 100 children (babies to Gr R). The school is widely known for its outstanding service, high-quality pre-school education and a very loving and caring environment.
