The foundation of a better future
Little Star daycare in Vanderbijlpark has undergone a remarkable transformation thanks to the generous support of Bühler Johannesburg. What began as a charitable effort in 2023 to enhance the playground and provide minor renovations evolved into a comprehensive refurbishment of the entire facility.

The renovation project, spearheaded by Bühler Johannesburg, aimed at creating a safer and more conducive learning environment for the children of Little Star Daycare. Improvements included refurbished classrooms, upgraded kitchen facilities, and a completely renovated playground, addressing longstanding challenges faced by the daycare.
Magdaline Gololo, principal and owner of Little Star Daycare, couldn’t be happier for the children at Little Star Daycare. “The team at Bühler asked me what changes I envisioned, and they delivered beyond my expectations. The entire facility, from classrooms to the playground, has been renovated. Bühler’s commitment to our vision has been instrumental. They not only met our needs but also enhanced our capacity to serve the community.”
Bernadette Botha is Human Resources Business Partner at Bühler Johannesburg and knows how important it is to walk the talk when it comes to making an actual difference for the ones that need it most. “We sponsored training opportunities for two educators in early childhood development and nutrition. Creating a better future for South Africa starts by creating better environments for our next generation. This holistic concept for children in local communities is part of this and we are so happy to see the smiles on the kids’ faces as they saw their renovated daycare for the first time.”
Reflecting on the impact of the renovations, Gololo said: “Our new facility ensures that children receive the care and education they deserve. We remain committed to supporting our community, especially vulnerable families.”
