I’m a passionate photographer based in Pretoria, Gauteng.  My objective is to provide you with photographs that will stir memories every time you look at them.

When photographing children I believe they must be allowed to feel relaxed and comfortable as this allows me to capture their unique personalities on camera.. I therefore do not have a studio and will travel to a venue of your choice.

Please contact me if you need a photographer at any special occasions such as :

  • Birthday Parties, or
  • Weddings

I also take family photos such as :

  • Pregnancy
  • New Born
  • Family Portraits 

If you want to enter the world of modelling, acting or TV commercials, I am able to put together a portfolio of photos for you.

Prices are available on my website.  Please contact me if you need any further information.

I look forward to capturing your life event on camera and creating memorable photographs for you to look back on!

SwimFin is the very latest design in swimming and teaching aids.

Since its arrival onto the UK market in January 2008, SwimFin has become a trusted overnight success with Local Authorities, Leisure Management Companies, Swim Schools, Private Health Clubs and Primary Schools, not to mention the thousands and thousands of Children and Parents enjoying SwimFin at their leisure every day. SwimFin has quickly become a UK market leader in swimming aids and has developed as a brand in its own right with over 33000 units sold in little over a year!

Unlike the old fashioned swimming aids which are either cumbersome, restrictive around the arms and body, or cannot be secured to the beginner swimmer to give parents total peace of mind, the SwimFin straps securely around the swimmer’s back, providing buoyancy and support only when it is needed, while leaving the arms and legs free to practice more natural swimming movements.

Children seem to forget about learning to swim with the SwimFin: it’s more fun, and feeds their active imaginations as they play at being a Shark, Fish, Dolphin or Whale. Tests prove that children using the SwimFin are picking up this vital life skill in a fraction of the time it may usually take with traditional swimming aids, because SwimFin not only inspires confidence, it teaches children the correct swimming position, allowing them to easily transfer the skills learnt with the SwimFin to actually swimming without it. It’s so much more than a swimming aid: it’s a professional piece of teaching equipment, a buoyancy aid, and also a toy. It’s so versatile, functional and practical, and you can use it in so many different ways with different ages and abilities of swimmer, including adults and special needs swimmers. What other single piece of equipment can say that?

The SwimFin is approved and endorsed by the ASA (Amateur Swimming Association), the UK’s governing body for swimming. It totally complies with all International safety standards (EN13138 & EN71). Homologation through the NRCS with regards to the – SANS 53138 – 1 standard – has been acquired after a lengthy application process, and SwimFin has also been approved by our local governing body, SSA (Swimming South Africa). A sales permit is held for Swimfins being brought into the country at the moment.

Here you will find testimonials, photos of it in action, and an insight as to how it works and what makes it such a revolutionary product, as well as a video and a power point presentation.

Early childhood music and movement brain stimulation program

Location

Contact:
Jenny
Cell: 082 445 1673

 
Kindermusik is an early childhood music and movement brain stimulating program. Using music with fun-filled interactions and age-appropriate activities, your child grows holistically.The program is designed especially for babies from birth to children age nine years, as scientific proof shows that a child’s brain grows to 90% of its adult capacity within the first two years of life and the last 10% to the age of seven.  Solid foundational musical concepts are taught to age nine from when formal musical training can continue.Our Core Beliefs:

Every aspect of the program is grounded on the core beliefs that:

  • Every Child is Musical.
  • Every Parent is the child’s most important teacher.
  • The home is the most important learning environment.
  • Music nurtures a child’s cognitive, emotional, social, language
     and physical development.

Our Benefits:

Research proves that early integration of music into your child’s daily routine means improving their ability to think, reason, create and express. Through music and movement, Kindermusik develops children’s emotional, intellectual, cognitive, social, language and physical abilities.

  • Children who have continued with the program are 6-12 months more developed than those who are not on the program.
  • Kindermusik is proved by research to improve a child’s brain capability by up to twenty percent
  • Babies’ milestones are reached at a much quicker rate.
  • Kindermusik offers opportunities for all children to develop their capacity more fully and prepares the children for the pressures and stress they will face in a school and class environment, peer pressure and exams.
  • Kindermusik improves a child’s ability to plan, guide, and control their own behaviour.

What makes us different?

  • We are the world leaders in the area of music therapy, music stimulation and music and movement for all children between the ages of birth to 7 years.
  • We have a panel of specialists in the area of child development and brain development which ensures the latest research in areas of language, reading, speech, concentration and brain development, and this is available and included in our programs.
  • We guarantee results when the prescribed “At Home Materials” are used up to 4 times a week.
  • We improve a child’s potential.  A remarkable number of top achievers have been shaped in the areas of sport, academics, culture and leadership.
  • Kindermusik is for all children including those with special needs.
  • Educators require a licence and receive continuous top quality training.
  • We deliver an affordable all round program for parents and children in South Africa.

How do I know which class my child should attend?

The Kindermusik curriculums are specifically designed with developmentally appropriate material for different age groups:

  • Village curriculum for birth-18months
  • Our Time curriculum for 18months – 3yrs
  • Imagine That curriculum for 3-5yrs
  • Kindermusik for the Young Child curriculum for 5-9yrs

What Our Parents Are Saying:

Samantha Casling (Mom to Kiara – Village and Our Time student)

“Luke and Colin both love Kindermusik so much – we spend hours listening to the CDs and their appreciation for music and sound is wonderful because of the weekly sessions.”
 
Christine Webster (Mom to Luke and Colin – Village and ABC Music and Me Students)

“Jessica enjoys her “music” so much she can’t wait for the next time.  She loves the interaction, dancing and singing tremendously and asks me every morning: “Is it music today?”  Thank you for this wonderful time she spends with you. Keep up the good work!”

Debbie Classen (Mom to Jessica – ABC Music and Me Student)

“The whole “Kindermusik experience” has just been awesome from day 1! Myself and Zoe have enjoyed every second of it! It is so pleasant when we sitting at home and whenever I played the zoom buggy CD – she will start laughing and crawling to me so that we can start dancing! It would be unfair towards Zoe not to enrol her for the next term! Thank you for making the time that I spend with my little girl so pleasant!”

Isabel Oosthuisen (Mom to Zoe – Village Student)

“I am amazed at the impact Kindermuzik has on my little girl’s development on every level. This is definitely my extra mural of choice and I would recommend it every time.”

Sonice Beukes (Mom to Kayla – ABC Music and Me Student)

“Kindermusik provides a unique entry for your child’s preparation for school and for life-unlike any other program”

The school’s aim is to provide a complete education whilst enabling children to master basic literacy and numeracy skills to a point where they can reach their potential in a mainstream classroom. Our priority is to restore confidence and to develop a positive attitude to learning. We do this by providing a happy atmosphere with support and understanding for each child.

At Oakley House every teacher’s objective is to remedy each child’s weaknesses as far as they can, focusing on the following:

To rebuild self esteem
To foster an enjoyment of learning
To provide a complete education
To help each child identify his or her own goals and targets
To identify and reach potential in strengths
To remedy weaknesses
To improve language skills
To reach a functional reading age (11 years) as soon as possible
To teach strategies and skills to assist with spelling
To achieve his or her potential in, and to foster an enjoyment of mathematics
To motivate each child
To stretch without overstretching
To return pupils to mainstream schooling when ready

Oakley House offers:

Small classes of not more than 10 children per class to ensure individual attention and a caring and supportive environment. Individual programmes of learning in literacy and numeracy on a one-to-one basis will be structured to suit each child’s needs.  The National Curriculum is followed in a normal classroom setting, in addition to which, each child has individual support for specific areas of difficulty. Speech and Language Therapy and Occupational Therapy, on an individual basis or in small groups, is arranged for those children who need it.

We are located in Diep River, Cape Town.
