Founder & Head of Cutie Pies

Claudia Crowster or Nana to our Cuties is a former HR Manager and Training Centre Director. After retiring, she started an NPO training center focused on upskilling and uplifting females. After years of serving as a director, Nana discovered a new passion with the birth of her first grandchild. Inspired by the need for a nurturing, Christian-based educare in the community, she founded Cutie Pies Educare. Here, your little ones thrive in small class sizes within a warm, home-like environment that makes every child feel cherished and safe! Now a qualified ECD teacher with many other skills, she strives to provide the best for every Cutie.

“Every child’s first steps into education are the foundation of their future. At Cutie Pies Educare, we nurture curiosity, inspire dreams, and build a love for learning that lasts a lifetime.”

Parent Testimonial
I’ve been part of the Cutie Pies family since 2021 and it’s been the easiest journey. My eldest started at Cutie Pies Educare for aftercare along with his sister who was only 2 at the time. Watching both of them flourish with the help of the amazing staff has been such a joy and has given me the greatest sense of peace over the years. So much so, that I was confident enough to send my youngest at the tender age of 6 months. I never had a doubt in my mind that it was the right decision and that she would get everything she needed from daily stimulation, healthy nutritious meals & the best environment, filled with love and care. My kids cry when they aren’t able to go to school and love Pa and Nana like their own grandparents. I love that we get spoilt with a bunch of pictures showing exactly what activities my kids are doing for that day. The progress I have seen in my kids since starting at Cutie Pies Educare is UNMATCHED and if there’s one thing I can confidently say - is that Aunty Claudia knows exactly what she’s doing when it comes to the teaching and well being of all her learners. I’m also so happy that my kids get exposed to an array of various extra mural activities - swimming, art, ballet & even computers. My youngest has just turned 2 and she knows her alphabet, can count to 20, knows ALL her colours and due to their Montessori way of learning - she has even learnt to fold and clean up after herself. It’s just the most heart warming feeling to know that while you’re at work your kids are safe, secure, learning and thriving. If you’re looking for the best of the best, look no further - You’ve found THE ONE 🫶🏻
