Ontstaan van Kabouterland
Psalm 121:1 en 2 Ek slaan my oë op na die berge: waar sal my hulp vandaan kom? My hulp is van die HERE wat hemel en aarde gemaak het.
Reana
Mamma van Kabouterland
Kabouterland het ‘n nederige ontstaan gehad in 1990 in ons woonhuis in die Boord. Ek het twee seuns van onderskeidelik drie jaar en nege maande gehad. Ek wou graag terugkeer na die arbeidsmark, maar was geskok oor die versorging wat daar beskikbaar was vir babas en kleuters.
Ek het besluit om tuis te bly en het nog ses kindertjies begin versorg. Die skooltjie het binne drie jaar gegroei tot ‘n totaal van 70 kinders met 10 personeellede. Die hele huis is later benut.
Gedurende hierdie tyd het ek ‘n droom gehad dat ek ‘n opdrag kry om ‘n skool te bou. Ek het die erf duidelik in my droom gesien en dit die volgende dag gaan soek.
Paradyskloof was toe onder ontwikkeling en hier was ‘n Trek Garage wat ek ook in my droom gesien het, met die oop erf wat aan die garage behoort het. Nadat ek vir vyf jaar gepoog het om die grond in die hande te kry, het ek uiteindelik gedurende 1996 die erf by Engen gekoop, dit laat hersoneer en die skool gebou. Natuurlik moes ek ‘n reusagtige verband neem, wat my op my knieë gehou het.
Gedurende 1997 het ons die nuwe skool betrek en vinnig gegroei tot ons maksimum kapasiteit voorskoolse kabouters. In totaal het ons tans 40 personeellede.
Mom of Kabouterland
Kabouterland had a humble origin in 1990 in our house in Die Boord. I had two boys aged 3 years and 9 months respectively. I wanted to return to work but was shocked at the care available for babies and toddlers.
I decided to stay home and started caring for six more children. The school grew within 3 years to a total of 70 children with 10 staff members. The whole house was later used.
During this I had a dream that I was commissioned to build a school. I saw the piece of ground clearly in my dream. The following day I went searching.
Paradyskloof was then under development and here a Trek Garage that I also saw in my dream. Next to it was an open piece of ground which also belonged to the garage. After trying for 5 years, I finally bought the property from Engen in 1996. It was rezoned and the school was built. Of course, I had a massive bond, which kept me on my knees.
During 1997 we moved into the new school building and quickly grew to our maximum capacity of pre-schoolers. We currently have a total of 40 staff members.
