"I am very happy to say that I had the awesome experience to attend and participate in Drs. Gerhard and Emilie Van Wyk's parenting classes held in their home. The studies were very informative and covered a wide variety of age group, topics that relate to children, as well as the Christian way of training of children. At times we played games that correlated with the topics of that session it got the group to talk and share their experiences. Again I highly recommend their classes, they were educational and fun. Sincerely, Lydia M. Helms. . .

Dr. van Wyk has been known to me for over thirty years. She is known for her pofessionalism and high standards. With years of experience as a successful educator and administrator her seminars are loaded with information, practical knowledge and applicable examples. Dr. Van Wyk's seminars are well grounded and supported academically since she holds a Ph.D. in education. Her warm and personable personality makes one feel right at home and ready to learn. She has become not only a colleague but a friend. Pierre F. Steenberg, Ph.D., BCCC...

I would like to thank the van Wyk’s for the incredible parenting classes that they held in their home. I must admit they are the most unique classes I have ever attended. They had a babysitter in the home so that parents could bring their children with them. They always had a lovely meal so that all the families could socialize together and have a good meal prior to the sessions. I wasn’t a mother at the time, however I have been an educator for 16 years and felt that I could always learn new techniques in how to deal with children. I have since become a mother of two beautiful boys and have referred back to the sessions that I attended. Their sessions on how to raise children in a Godly, loving environment really helped guide me in how to raise my own children. The van Wyk’s truly have a gift when it comes to family relationships. It was apparent that their true desire was to develop the necessary tools for those families who needed help in how to raise children in a structured loving environment. They incorporate video, games and free talk within their sessions. Their loving spirit and generous ways have forever stamped a way of thinking in my own life which I will then pass on to my children. Marcy Zunich.

It is a Christ centered time of sharing our joys, and struggles as we do our best to raise our children. As a blended family one of our favorite take-aways from parent evening was implementing family meetings- allowing all family members a chance for open and honest communication. Thank you Emilie and Gerhard!Tonya and Justin Priest
