Being bilingual is one of the most useful skills a child can build in South Africa. At Bracken Kidz aftercare in Brackenhurst, Alberton we see it every afternoon: kids who can move between Afrikaans and English learn faster, feel more confident, and cope better with schoolwork.
That is why free Afrikaans lessons sit at the centre of what we offer. Enrolled Bracken Kidz aftercare students receive free Afrikaans lessons Monday to Thursday from 15:45 to 16:05 — a R1 200 value included in aftercare fees. We also offer extra English and extra Mathematics on site.
Why bilingual kids have an edge
Children who speak more than one language typically develop stronger memory, problem-solving and focus. Switching between Afrikaans and English is a daily brain workout. Dual-medium aftercare in Brackenhurst and Alberton gives learners that practice in a real setting — homework, play, meals and extra lessons — not only in a textbook.
Better marks in Afrikaans and English
Many Alberton and Brackenhurst schools expect solid Afrikaans or English. When a child is weak in their second language, other subjects suffer too. Regular, short, high-quality lessons close that gap. Our free Afrikaans sessions are taught by tutors who have Afrikaans as a home language, so pronunciation, comprehension and oral work stay authentic.
