Skilpadjies
Die Skilpadjies is vir die babas van 8 tot 16 maande. Die klas het 12 babas en drie personeellede. Ons begin die jaar as klein babatjies, maar word so vinnig groot en verander sommer gou in klein peutertjies wie rond kan hardloop en vinnig leer.
The Skilpadjie class is for babies from 8 - 16 months. The class has 12 babies and 3 full-time staff members. We start the year as tiny babies, but grow up very fast and become eager little walkers who learn very fast.
Infant and Toddler Development Coordinator 2025 Kyla De Swart
Ek is gebore en het groot geword in Sannieshof in die Noord- Wes provinsie waar ek ook gematrikuleer het. Ek het BA Geesteswetenskappe gestudeer aan die NWU Potchefstroomkampus. Ek is na my studies getroud en het na Stellenbosch verhuis, waar ek vir 6 jaar as Educarer by BABIN gewerk het. Daar het ek my passie vir kinders se groei en ontwikkeling uitgeleef. Ek het in 2023 geboorte geskenk aan my seuntjie en in my vrye tyd skilder ek graag, stap met my hond en versorg my versameling huisplante.
