The Kaleidoscope School opened as a Montessori Pre-School in January 2006. The school is set in the country community of Nestpark Agricultural Holdings, near Bapsfontein, Gauteng East. The property of the school has been rezoned by the Ekurhuleni Municipality for use as a school. The Principal of the School, Carol Gardner, who has resided in the area since 1995, realized the need for a school in the area for two reasons: Firstly, the closest primary school is approximately 20km away. There are many young families with children either in, or moving into Nestpark Agricultural Holdings, who do not not wish to or cannot afford to travel 20km every day to take their children to school. For this reason, the school fees have been kept as low as possible. Considering that it is a small private school, the fees are well below those of other private schools in the surrounding areas of Benoni and Pretoria. Secondly, there were a number of previously disadvantaged families who want good schooling for their children.
