Teachers will walk away inspired with tools essential to help children to have fun while learning.Renata has been performing and writing for young children since 2001. She has worked in early childhood since 1990 both overseas and in Australia.
Over 10 of those years were spent in the relief industry where she experienced a wide variety of teaching styles and creative ideas for children’s programs.
Renata now travels all over to speak and present at early childhood conferences and delivers in-services with her own CD’s, books and DVDs to compliment these workshops. She is available in person and online to present workshops.

Testimonial
Renata has entertained and inspired at our services for the past two years. In particular the staff training not only has acted as a wonderful stimulus for our practice but also as a team building exercise…with lots of laughter.
Renata definitely captures her audiences and takes them on fantastic adventures…we are always wanting more!
The children were thoroughly focused throughout the multicultural storytelling experience as they became the characters throughout the stories.”
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE AMAZING RHYMING SHOW. All of the prep students loved it and have been talking about it all day. It will help so much with our rhyming unit this term. We will definitely be re-booking in the future!”
