New aftercare facility opens
A new aftercare facility for school-going children will be open from 15 July the opening of the new school term in the Walkerville area. This follows the receipt of many requests from working mums for such a facility. Run under the auspices of the Immaculate Equestrian Academy, the aftercare facility will offer transport – both collection from school and a drop-offs at a designated area – as well as supervised homework and horse riding lessons. Dance and music lessons will also be arranged in future should there be sufficient demand for these.
The Immaculate Equestrian Academy (IEA) was established by Taneil Shani Arkner in 2008. Based in the beautiful area of Golfview, Walkerville, the academy has gone from strength to strength. The horse riding lessons are an integral part of the aftercare programme. Taneil and fellow equestrians, Robyn and Whitney, who help with the horse riding lessons, are keen and eager to share their knowledge and love of horses. “We are very excited about providing children with the opportunity to learn to ride. It is always captivating to see how quickly children fall in love with horses,” said Taneil. “Furthermore, Whitney, who is also our intern teacher, has a passion for helping children learn and will assist with the daily homework.”
Mothers in particular have been very interested in our programme because it also frees up their weekend when they would normally bring their children for horse riding lessons. IEA has horses, ponies, ducks and dogs, providing city children with the experience of country life for a few hours every day.
