Alicia

My name is Alicia Ngobeni, and it is with a heart full of joy that I introduce myself as the newest member of the Rayul Pre-Prep family. Originally from South Africa, I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education and a SACE certificate. While my academic background is in English, my true calling lies in nurturing the bright, curious minds of our youngest learners.

At Rayul, I believe in the beauty of "Gentle Beginnings." My goal is to create a classroom where every child feels seen, safe, and deeply encouraged. To me, teaching is not just about lessons; it’s about celebrating every small step—from the first confident "Hello" to the moment a child discovers the magic of their own creativity.

With a passion for innovation (I even once created a 'Caroplane' for a science expo!), I love bringing creative and hands-on experiences into the classroom. I want to ensure that our students’ journey at Rayul is filled with wonder, where they can explore and participate at their own pace in a supportive, pressure-free environment.

I am truly looking forward to beginning this beautiful journey with you and your little ones. I cannot wait to meet all the wonderful families and support each child as they take their first, precious steps in their educational journey at Rayul Pre-Prep.
