Cape champions
Chané Sharon Arendse
My name is Chané Sharon Arendse (24). I am a spontaneous and enthusiastic early child development educator, and principal and owner of a day care, Arendse Nessie Dagsorg. I opened the daycare on 16 January 2024 in my sitting room with only six children. Today I have 29 children, and I am currently busy converting an erf into a daycare. With the help and donations from De Hoop Collection I could purchase and furnish three Wendy houses for the three different classes. Arendse Nessie is very excited about witnessing the new atmosphere. To this day I cherish the award that I received from Kaapse Forum as one of the Cape Champions. Fly high and believe!
