— Proverbs 22:6 (NIV)

Nurturing Every Child's Potential Through Play

At Vygotsky School of Play, we nurture the potential of every child through play-based learning, embracing the theories of Lev Vygotsky. Our mission is to create a stimulating environment where children learn through exploration, creativity, and social interaction — developing essential cognitive, emotional, and social skills.

We focus on personalized learning experiences and strive to create a fun and enriching space that respects each child's developmental stage. Every child belongs. Every child matters.

Mrs. Nadine Nelson

In 2019, I fell in love with the beauty and warmth of Namibia. In 2026, I am proud to open the first Vygotsky School of Play Nam campus, after successfully running our school in Cape Town for the past 7 years.

With 17 years of experience in preschool education, my passion has always been to create a nurturing environment where children learn through play, exploration, sensory experiences, and meaningful connections.

At Vygotsky School of Play Nam, we believe every child deserves a safe, inclusive, and inspiring space to grow, learn, and thrive at their own pace. My aim is to bring quality early learning, sensory play, and hands-on learning experiences to all children across Namibia.

Through play-based education, inclusive teaching, and meaningful real-life experiences, I hope to create a learning environment where every child feels valued, supported, and inspired to learn. We welcome children of all learning abilities and barriers — having worked closely with children on the autism spectrum, children with ADHD, Down syndrome, sensory processing challenges, developmental delays, and many other diverse learning needs.

Our approach focuses on inclusion, sensory play, hands-on learning, emotional support, and creating a safe environment where every child can learn at their own pace. We believe that every child is capable, unique, and deserving of an education that celebrates their individual strengths.
