Children’s Teachers
The Life Centre uses a range of excellent teachers and companies to provide our inspiring children’s activities. All are fully qualified, insured, first aid trained and hold current enhanced disclosure Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks. Where possible, we are fortunate to have voluntary class assistants to help with the smooth running and enjoyment of the classes. All our volunteers are also CRB checked.
Our teachers are:
Sherina Stewart - Master Chefs
Sherina is a trained actress, singer and yoga teacher. Over the past 10 years she has enjoyed teaching art, singing and drama to children of all ages. She is thrilled to be leading the Master Chefs class as her earliest memory was the desire to bake!
