About Us
Houghton Nursery School isn’t just another nursery school; it’s an institution deeply rooted in history and a commitment to nurturing the potential of every child. Our journey began in 1946 as an integral part of Houghton Primary School, and in 1968, we moved to our own cherished premises on Wolfgang Street, Norwood, where we proudly stand today—53 years and counting.
Pioneers of Inclusivity In 1987, we etched our name in history by becoming the first Nursery School in South Africa to embrace multiracial education. The seeds of this transformation were sown in 1985 when our retired Principal, Jennifer Soicher, embarked on a relentless mission to rewrite history. We firmly believe that in our school, we don’t see color; we see children, each uniquely special. We have always opened our doors to every child, fostering an environment where inclusivity reigns supreme.
