THERE was plenty of bouncing, giggling, ice-cream-fuelled excitement and even a giant foam pit at Care Bears Playland as the school celebrated being crowned Best of Durban once again in the Best Crèche/Playschool category.

While the team is incredibly grateful for the recognition, principal Robyn Greyling said the real stars of the celebration were, as always, the children.

“After all, they are at the heart of everything Care Bears Playland does. So, in true Care Bears style, the school decided there was only one way to celebrate – by throwing the children the biggest “Greatest School on Earth” party ever!”

The little VIPs were treated to a day packed with fun, laughter and plenty of surprises. There were jumping castles to bounce on, an ice-cream truck serving up delicious treats, colourful face painting, cupcake decorating and enough goodies to keep everyone smiling.

Greyling said the highlight was the giant foam pit which stole the show.

The celebration ended on an extra-special note, with every child receiving their own medal.

“And to every parent, family member and friend who voted for us and continues to believe in our school, thank you. We never take your support for granted.”
