Jacky Makhoa

I'm an Early Childhood Development (ECD) Practitioner with over five years of real-world experience providing quality care and structured learning for young children. I'm registered with the South African Council of Educators (SACE) and have a solid background in child psychology, planning curriculums, and managing classrooms. Right now, I'm pursuing a Bachelor of Education focused on Senior Phase and FET Teaching, along with training in Support Counselling to make a broader impact in education.

I take pride in my patience, integrity, and reliability, and I'm genuinely committed to supporting each child's growth while continually enhancing my skills.
