Super Nannies
✦ Powa2Play · Half-day workshop

Play withintention

Unlock your child's full potential with our Powa2Play workshop. An interactive, hands-on session that empowers your nanny with the knowledge and skills to stimulate cognitive, emotional and physical development through play — including a session on making homemade toys.

A variety of creative ideas designed to keep little ones (3 months to 5 years) exploring and developing to their full potential.

Join us at one of our Johannesburg venues, or have the trainer come to you — pick "In your home" when you book and we'll run the workshop in your own space.

"Olwethu only had good things to say and was teaching me a few things as well. We'd definitely be interested in further courses as our little one gets older. This has really been valuable." — Jade, Training course
Our approach

What the workshop is really about.

Designed by moms with input from a playschool teacher, for nannies caring for children aged 3 months to 5 years.

01

Adapt

Activities are tailored to your child’s age and stage — from 3 months to 5 years — using everyday items already in your home.

02

Imagine

We tap into the child's (and the nanny's) imagination — shop-bought toys are not the be-all and end-all.

03

Encourage

Positive reinforcement that boosts your nanny's confidence and her relationship with your child.

04

Enjoy

Playtime that's genuinely fun for both the child and the nanny — mom and dad too.

Age by age

Purposeful play for every stage of development.
