Sunshine Day Care in Delmas celebrates its graduates

Parents, teachers, VIP guests and learners at Everyday Sunshine Day Care gathered in the Delmas Primary School Hall to recognise their graduates on November 23.

The Bunny and Lion classes brought cheerful music and moves to the morning events with songs like Loslappie, Thumbs Up, Lyfie, Popcorn, Wheels on the Bus and many more. There was also a Zulu dance.

Clr Henry Ngoma, the Speaker of the Victor Khanye Local Municipality, Maureen Minisi from the Congress of Early Childhood Development, Charity Nkosi, a facilitator, and apostle advocate Sueg Mhlongo were some of the honourable guests at the graduation.

The morning started with the learners singing and dancing. In his speech, Ngoma welcomed everyone celebrating the graduates’ milestone. He commended headmaster Eunice Masuku and the teachers who worked hard to help ready the learners for school.

“We are also here to celebrate the children as preschool graduates. The word ‘being’ means to become, so you proceed to become all your life. Institutions like Everyday Sunshine Day Care make future politicians, doctors, nurses and leaders possible,” said Ngoma.

He thanked the parents of the graduates.

“What you, as parents, do at home is what we see happening on the streets, in the schools and everywhere. It is foundations like this that make children better-equipped adults in the future,” Ngoma added.

Mhlongo told the parents and learners never to stop learning, quoting Mohammed Ali, “I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion’.”

Mhlongo added, “Life is a journey. It is like a race; run it with discipline.”

After a well-deserved break, a speech by Minisi followed, and then it was time for the little ones to formally graduate from nursery school ahead of their 2025 paths to ‘big school’.
