Moms & Tots Group

Meet Petra Lombard

Petra and her daughter, Derryn & Brontè, the founder of the Moms and Tots Group and a qualified B.Prim. (Ed) teacher Petra ran her own Moms and Tots for 13 years after which she ran her own Jungle Tots Educational Playgroup for 11 years.
 
Motivated by her love for children, especially those from disadvantaged communities, she founded the Mother Touch Academy. A non-profit organisation that provides pre-school educational services to children of the impoverished Diepsloot community in Gauteng.
 

Petra has since left the bright lights of Johannesburg behind and currently lives with her husband, Esly Lombard, on a farm near Hanover. This mom of two grown daughters never stops giving back to her local community. Once a week she teaches a Jungle Tots class to 80 disadvantaged children from the Hanover community in the local library, before serving them a meal. Petra also teaches a weekly Moms and Tots Workshop class to mothers and toddlers from the surrounding farming community in the Hanover Hotel.

Petra started Moms and Tots in 1992, she franchised in 1993.
