Why Do Need Urgent Childcare?
Last-Minute Work Commitments
An unexpected business meeting or urgent deadline means you need reliable childcare ASAP.
Nanny or Babysitter Canceled
Your regular caregiver is unavailable, but you still have important plans to keep.
Date Night or Special Occasion
Enjoy a stress-free evening out while your child is in safe, professional hands.
Emergency Appointments
Medical visits, dentist appointments, or sudden obligations require a trusted childcare option.
Self-Care & Mental Break
Parents need time to recharge—whether for a spa day, gym session, or quiet coffee break.
School Closures & Holidays
When schools close for the day, you still need a fun, engaging place for your child.
Londiwe's extensive career in the childcare sector has nurtured an acute appreciation and understanding of children and young people.
Our History
HOP mirrors Ms. Yika’s upbringing in an extended family as her single mother worked as a teacher. Yika’s tertiary education, a bachelor’s degree in Child And Youth Development, and victims’ advocacy work in court further fuel Ms. Yika’s passion for protecting and empowering young people through a warm, stimulating environment.
Beginning as a home daycare in KwaMashu, Durban, Ms. Yika seized opportunities to expand across two facilities over five years while dedicating herself to retaining an intimate, personalized culture. Early praise for HOP’s nourishing approach and premium facilities drives 150% growth annually as parents choose safety, learning, and crisis support services, allowing careers to thrive.
