Investing in a Legacy of Laughter and Learning
My name is Tamsyn Jordaan, and I’m the Manager at Lady Buxton Educare & Pre-Primary Centre. For me, this isn’t just work—it’s my passion. For over a century, Lady Buxton has been a second home filled with laughter and learning for countless children. From babies as young as six months to six-year-olds ready for “big school,” we’ve been a haven for generations of families.
What began in 1917 as a sanctuary for vulnerable children has since blossomed into a trusted pillar of care and education. We pour our hearts into giving every child the best possible start, offering them love, a safe space, and an education that ignites their potential. It’s our heartbeat, not just a school.
Our Honest Truth
Our beloved building, the heart of this community for decades, is showing its age. While the spirit of Lady Buxton remains vibrant, our physical learning environment is worn and tired. Our kiddie chairs and tables are falling apart, and our cupboards and carpets are well past their prime. The truth is, our classrooms no longer reflect the bright futures we dream of for each child who comes through our doors.
A Vision for Change
But there is hope. With your compassionate support, we can breathe new life into Lady Buxton. We can restore and refresh our classrooms, creating spaces that inspire learning, spark creativity, and restore the dignity that every child deserves. Your contribution, no matter how small, directly invests in the daily lives of these precious children.
Imagine new chairs that cradle them in comfort, vibrant carpets where their imaginations can roam free, and freshly organized classrooms where learning feels exciting and accessible. By investing in Lady Buxton, you’re not just investing in a school; you’re investing in future leaders, innovators, and compassionate human beings.
Join Us in Building a Brighter Tomorrow
Together, with your generosity, we can ensure that every child at Lady Buxton has a safe, inspiring, and joyful space to grow, learn, and thrive.

Let’s restore our classrooms, item by item. Let’s unite as a community, one family at a time. Let’s build a brighter future, together! Every contribution counts, and we can’t wait for you to join the #LadyBuxtonLegacy and #RestoringLadyBuxton campaigns.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Tamsyn Jordaan
