Spoken by Program Parent & Tutor, Ramya:

I'm Rayma and I'm a proud HIPPY Mum, and HIPPY tutor as well. I'm from India. Actually, I'm from a teaching background. I'm just passionate about teaching and being with kids. HIPPY is offering a good opportunity for me to be with parents, to be with kids, and also learning about Australian education curriculum. As a parent, it I think it promotes family bonding. When you do any activity in HIPPY, it promotes not only gaining skills for the kids, it's also gaining skills for the parents as well. It improves family bonding.

I just love HIPPY. HIPPY is just a part of my life and it becomes a regular routine. If I asked Reshma if you want learn or do HIPPY, every time, she goes with HIPPY. I just want to do HIPPY. Because she thinks doing HIPPY is fun. Actually she is learning, gaining skills out of that. But for her it is all about HIPPY. HIPPY makes her feel happy.
