Dowerglades Nursery School was lovingly founded by Sharon Greeff, whose lifelong passion for children shines through in everything she does. Sharon has a rare ability to connect deeply with children, understanding their unique learning styles, backgrounds, and personalities with empathy and care. Her dream was to create a space where every child feels valued, nurtured, and encouraged to grow into a confident individual who is ready to make their mark on the world. At Dowerglades, we believe nursery school is not just the beginning of education; it’s the foundation of who children become. Every teacher and assistant at Dowerglades shares this same passion and purpose: to help children discover and celebrate their true selves. Our mission is simple — to nurture children in an environment where they can learn, explore, and grow with curiosity and confidence. With years of experience and the privilege of guiding countless little personalities, we take pride in being part of every child’s journey. Nothing brings us more joy than seeing a former Dowerglades child return as a parent, entrusting us with their own little one. It’s the ultimate testament to the warm, caring, and inspiring environment we continue to provide. Because at Dowerglades Nursery School, we believe that education begins with nurturing, and a nurtured child is a confident, curious learner for life.
