In 1999 I finished off in the catering business. My son was 2 years old and I wanted to do the ECD training so
that I could equip him.
Friends and family approached me and asked me to look after their children and I started a centre in my spare bedroom. Every year I took another room somewhere on the property for my ECD centre. I never advertised my centre, everything was word of mouth. I equipped myself by studying further. There were lots of challenges but I persevered and today Charlene’s Angels are my pride and joy. Just knowing, when you see that child, that you can make a difference in their life keeps me going. Their smiles, childlike nature and compliments just make my day.
