VANDERBIJLPARK – Little Star Daycare in Vanderbijlpark has undergone a remarkable transformation thanks to the generous support of Bühler Johannesburg.
What began as a charitable effort to enhance the playground and provide minor renovations evolved into a comprehensive refurbishment of the entire facility.
Initiated in 2023, the project was a collaborative effort involving Bühler Johannesburg and Eskom.
On Friday, October 11, the creche witnessed an official handover ceremony.
Magdaline Gololo, principal and owner of Little Star Daycare, expressed her gratitude.
“Bühler asked me what changes I envisioned, and they delivered beyond my expectations. The entire facility, from classrooms to the playground, has been renovated,” she said.
The renovation project, spearheaded by Bühler Johannesburg, aimed to create a safer and more conducive learning environment for the children of Little Star Daycare.
Improvements included refurbished classrooms, upgraded kitchen facilities, and a completely renovated playground, addressing longstanding challenges faced by the daycare.
“Bühler ‘s commitment to our vision has been instrumental. They not only met our needs but also enhanced our capacity to serve the community,” added Gololo.
Reflecting on the impact of the renovations, Gololo noted: “Our new facility ensures that children receive the care and education they deserve. We remain committed to supporting our community, especially vulnerable families.”
In addition to their extensive support, Bühler facilitated training opportunities for two educators in early childhood development and nutrition, underscoring their dedication to holistic childcare.
Bernadette Botha, Human Resources Business Partner at Bühler Johannesburg said “At Bühler, CSI efforts are driven by a deep-seated commitment to uplift local communities. The renovation of Little Star Daycare reflects our dedication to nurturing future generations and supporting local communities.”
