What is the reason behind your crèche's name?

An eagle can always fly high over all clouds and storms and God protects His nest from dangers.

What are you grateful for about your crèche?

I'm grateful for God’s hand on my ECD Centre. He blessed me with a house in 2008, but I didn't understand why in Delft? In 2012 I had a dream wherein a man in white told me that it's time to open a crèche and so, on 15 Jan. 2014 I started Young Eagles Nest Educare. God blessed the crèche in that same month with everything I needed to start an ECD Centre.

I'm also grateful for the chance to be trained by AmazingBrainz and currently I'm using their excellent curriculum at my crèche. By using this, the children have the opportunity to receive whole brain development so that they are school ready by the age of 6.

We are still open after 8 years and God continues to send new kids to this safe haven for children whose parents are at work. I'm grateful to be a blessing to our community in giving love to and building a brighter future for the next generation. It gives me great pleasure.

What are the most important needs/prayer requests regarding your crèche right now?

Thank God for:

• receiving an indoor jungle gym, a blanket for each child at the crèche, art paint, play dough and porridge via a donation from a company in Cape Town. This was and is a great blessing to us.

Please pray for:

• the 4–5-year class that needs a ceiling.
• the crèche’s leaking roof to be fixed, fascia boards needed as well as weather guard paint.
• the baby class that needs a window for more ventilation since it doesn’t get enough fresh air.
• sponsors for fresh fruit + vegetables as well as non-perishable food (samp & beans, dry soup mix, tins of baked beans, frozen peas, etc.) for the daily meals we provide for the children.
• the building plan that needs to get approval – we have been struggling with it for 3 years already. Somehow the building was built wrong by subcontractors and now it's affecting the measurements for the building plan. I don't know what to do to get it approved.
• the crèche’s safety - there are many burglaries in our area due to gang related activities. We need an alarm system as well as cameras.
• We have to pay a fine regarding the rezoning of the land use (R9000). I didn't know I had to rezone every 5 years.
• My bakkie's shock absorber is also done.
