KLOOF COTTAGE PRIMARY
For the children who challenged the system.
For the families who challenged the experts.
For the educators who challenged what was possible.
Welcome to Kloof Cottage.
Our greatest strength is our people.
"When passionate educators, therapists, professionals and families unite around a child, barriers become possibilities and potential becomes progress. It takes a team willing to think differently, challenge limits, and refuse to give up when the path forward isn't obvious.
I firmly believe ...
Metanoia Kloof Cottage is redefining what is possible...
The greatest barrier was never ability — it was expectation and this belief is driven by a team of steel and built for learners who refuse to be overlooked and deserve to be believed in".
Yolande Strydom and The Founders Team
