play. learn. grow.

Welcome! Here, curiosity leads the way and learning feels like play.

Once upon a time...

There was a passionate young girl that believed in the power of storytelling and that play can spark learning in young minds.

Hi, I am Hanrie Coetzee and I am still passionate about early childhood education. I believe play lays the foundation for children’s success in life. Co-creating with them sparks curiosity and a love for lifelong learning. The children I work with experience small victories that build confidence—helping them believe they can achieve anything they set their minds to.

With over 15 years of experience in illustration and education, and a postgraduate degree in psychology, I bring creativity, heart, and insight into everything I create—helping children play, learn and grow.
