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.

Thank God:

• that we now have 43 children at the crèche.
• that I could give one of my teachers a salary increase from end of April.
• for protecting the crèche.
• that my crèche was chosen by the municipality as one of a few crèches in my community to get help with registration at the Dept. of Basic Education and with the building plan.

• that the problem with the building plan that needs to get approval, will be solved via the above-mentioned help from the municipality.
• for funds for a fence for one corner of the property where the crèche is located so that it is safer and that I can start a small vegetable garden on it.
• for discernment to know whether I must keep my crèche registered as an NPO or if I must move the registration to be a POC (Private Owned Company).
