Your input is important to us. Please provide your valuable feedback. Here are some testimonials from our clients:

"All odds seemed against me the morning of Renee's workshop but I arrived on time for one of the most unforgettable hours of 2015. Renee is an inspiration to anyone involved in educating children. The skills learnt that day were put to work that very week. The book made out of a recycled A4 page was the one that I'v tried with children of all ages and their ideas were amazing. The idea of making learning tools from recycled items is inspiring another project at the school too. Thank you Renee for having your finger on the pulse and your "light on" the needs of the children of the world."

Hi Renee

Thank you, once more for your Time, Effort and the Positive Energy at the "LightOn" workshop. I wished you could see the work carried out yesterday at the first session. The literacy tutors immediately implemented and applied themselves in their one-one experience. Of course we had loads of smiles and wide-eyed learners enjoying every minute! The principal popped in at the sessions and immediately called me aside and expressed gratitude, when he saw the little one's smiling....

Thank you, thank you for always inspiring and motivating the reading helpers. As you said... They are the MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE in the Life of our children.

Regards,
Melody Volmink

Hi Renee
Your talk was just so inspiring, thank you. I gave my one year old a tin with bottle tops and she sat playing with it for about half an hour, while we were waiting at the uif offices. AMAZING!!!!
Thank you again! I am also loving the book!

I wanted to say thank you so much for your guidance and input during this year. After our first meeting with you in January (2014), there were one or two things that you said to us that have just made all the difference.
We have stuck to it and we have had a very successful and happy year!

A very special thank you for coming to chat to the Moms Circle Group this morning at Mediclinic Cape Town.

It was incredibly special and vital how you focused on Mom Wellness (the importance of taking care of themselves first, in order to be energised sufficiently to care for their babes in return). Being a Mom involves such a huge variety of duties, thank you for your comprehensive talk pertaining to speech and language development and in addition how you made the Moms aware of parenting and thinking positively, sharing so many hints and tips with the Moms.

Emma (one of the Moms) was so impressed, she said I have only just joined Moms Circle Group and Renee highlighted so many aspects of Motherhood, including giving me sage advice regarding coping with my 'internalising' of my stress!

Thank you so much for the workshop last week; it was really inspirational, encouraging, and motivating! It's also so wonderful to know someone who has already done so much in the type of education that I'm interested in and to have a role model!
I'll be starting at Little STAR today at Mannenberg and I'll be sure to email you or WhatsApp you with any questions or queries. Thank you so much for your kindness and for sharing your passion for education!
