Message from the Principal / Owner,
Lorraine Buchanan



I have been blessed to be able to follow my dream as an educator for 29 years.
My dream became a reality when I opened a school in Potchefstroom in (1994-2014).
Over time it grew into a successful school with 110 children from the ages of 2yrs to Grade R.

I moved to Ballito KZN for 5 years during which time I held the positions of HOD and Principal of schools in Ballito KZN.

It has been a privilege to return to Potchefstroom and continue my passion for teaching.
In 2019 with my dedicated team of teachers and assistants we opened the doors of Lorraine’s Little School where we have happy fun filled days.

I love the way the little one’s fingers play with play dough and then learn to grip a crayon and colour in with confidence, having fun whilst learning.
The way their eyes light up when they understand a concept big or small - and of course music …. look at our school logo and see the musical notes - singing music and movement – getting dirty during messy play is also a very important part of learning in a safe, happy, and stimulating environment.

We believe in Learning Through Play by setting the foundation for the holistic development of your child’s emotional wellbeing and education allowing children to advance at their own pace with age-appropriate weekly CAPS driven themed activities and games.
