SamenvattingIn this article,Willemien le Roux,founder ofthe Bokamoso Preschool Programme,and Gaolatlhe Eirene Thupe, its current Coordinator, reflect on their experiences in carrying out a tracer study on participants in the programme. This currently operates in 13 San settlements in the Ghanzi District of western Botswana and incorporates three main hypotheses: that San children who have gone through preschool will be less likely to drop out of formal schools; that parents will participate more positively in the formal education process if their children are somehow ‘lured’into learning through play; and that the introduction of languages in an informal way will break through children’s resistance to other languages and give them a head start in primary school.
