Background about KLC

Kingfisher Learning Centre was founded in 2004, it started operation from a home in Kingfisher Street in Horizon Park, hence the name Kingfisher Learning Centre

Grades 1 to 3 were taught, catering for children who needed or preferred a small classroom environment. By 2005 it was necessary to move to larger premises and register with the Gauteng Department of Education, this process was completed by the end of 2008.

Over the years the school has grown to accommodate learners from grade 1 to 7 and enrolment is currently over 80 learners. We are exited to be starting with our first Grade R class next year.
