VANDERBIJLPARK – It was all gowns and slippers on Friday morning at the Lil Saints Kids Academy in CW5. Owner Milicent Mosehla decided a pajama day was perfect for the cold weather and everyone obliged, from the teachers to the headmistress.

The little ones were all warm and cozy in their colourful pajamas. They were ready for their morning nap when Vaalweekblad visited them. Mia Coetzee took the time to show Vaalweekblad around the school with its two classrooms and warm play area.

The school opened its doors in January and currently has 12 children from babies to Grade R, including those that they take care of after school.
