Prior to teaching Baby Sensory, I volunteered and taught at a home for abused, broken and lost children, back in South Africa. Then, after 8 long years and 7 IVFs, we finally fell pregnant, the natural way!

We were ecstatic.

However, being like most mums-to-be and having had a demanding full-time job in the city, I was terribly worried that I'll be alone, just my baby and I, with endless nappies and feeds, day in and day out. But like most fears, I needn’t have worried. Our local health car... See moree professional quickly got us signed up for a baby massage class. It was great to meet other mums but my baby boy hated it!

So, we found ourselves going from one baby activity to the next. All these classes left me feeling unsatisfied and some were even torture. One day a friend mentioned that she's been going to Baby Sensory with her little boy and that they both loved it. So, I went surfing the net, found a class, and only realised afterwards, how lucky we were to have found an immediate place.

As with all new activities, at first, I was a little apprehensive, but the moment the class started it was as though a light went on. Both in my head and in my baby’s eyes. His little face glowed with joy and was totally captivated by the fun activities. After just one class, Baby Sensory became the highlight of our week! It not only influenced our play as I now understood, but in our everyday life, I came to understand the value of banging a pot with a spoon and singing those seemingly pointless songs, and why music and rhythm and playing peek-a-boo for hours on end is of such importance to that young mind.

Experiencing the impact of this brilliant programme at first hand, has caused me to leave my life of suits and stilettos behind and support Mums and Dads in this very precious, irreplaceable, 1st year of learning and development with their babies.

I believe that after you visit one of my Baby Sensory classes, you too will find the same satisfaction in the knowledge that you have done your very best in giving your baby the necessary platform for learning and development, during these impressionable early years. (… and have lots of fun in the process :0) Show less
