Community Feedback

By far the best

“Excellent class, love that you focus on babies and all the props you use. Have been to many baby bounces and Sarah by far is the best with guitar and enthusiasm for children and language development.”

—Baby Bounce Mum, 2018

This should be in all libraries

“Very interactive. Music and simple language makes this a very engaging session for young kids. I hope it continues. This phonics based lesson should be held in all libraries.”

—Storytime Mum, 2018

Superb project management

“Congratulations Sarah on a terrific job on the 2017 Write by the Bay prize. You did a superb job across all stages of the project… Multiple parents came up to thank and congratulate the Libraries team on the event tonight, and I received praise from sponsors, Andy Griffiths and the Mayor.”

—Community Engagement Coordinator, 2017

A fantastic program

“It’s been very good to attend baby bounce. My baby loves meeting other babies. The presenter is very engaging. It gives me ideas to do things with my baby. Overall it’s a fantastic program.”

—Baby Bounce Mum, 2018

My son talks about it for days

“Fantastic mix of stories, songs and craft at the end. My son talks about it for days after! Much better than [other local] programs. Guitar music also. So engaging for the kids!”

—Storytime Mum, 2018

Staff Excellence Awards nomination

“Sarah is a team player providing fresh, new insights that both support and extend her fellow colleagues with a willingness to challenge knowledge and ideas. She encompasses all the great qualities of a teacher; knowledgeable, personable, considerate, engaging, passionate… She works with purpose… Her gift of music and theatre is a great asset to her programs—they come alive!”

—Multicultural Engagement Librarian, 2017

Like an episode of Play School

“Sarah with dreads is amazing! It is like an episode of playschool! Thanks.”

—Storytime Mum, 2015

Consummate professional

Sarah and I had a great time working together. Sarah is a consummate professional—easy to work with, fun to be around, highly skilled. She has such a fun way with the children, with a natural way of embedding teaching in her banter.

—Children and Youth Librarian, 2018

Love the featured routines

“I love how there is a different routine activity featured each week. Sarah is great with the guitar. A great opportunity for baby to see other babies.”

—Baby Bounce Mum, 2018

Perfect

“The lady who ran the group was perfect, lots of enthusiasm. 🙂 “

I learn so much

“I started an email saying that I think you’re great, and that I love reading your event evaluations because I learn so much and you articulate things so well. Then I felt like a dork… But I am throwing caution to the winds, and here it is! You’re awesome!”

—Children and Youth Librarian, 2017

A wonderful vibe

“Sarah is so full of energy. It’s a wonderful vibe. She’s also great at wrangling huge groups!! The songs are great and I really appreciate the printouts to take home. The books are also excellent developmentally and Toby loves them!”

—Baby Bounce Mum, 2018

Fun and vibrant

Amazing storytime

Really special storytimes

“I’ve been to a bunch of your storytimes, and I just wanted to tell you that I think what you do is really special… You become the characters…”

We don’t want her to go!

“Fantastic storytime. Great stories and activities + songs. Can Sarah be a travelling storyteller at all libraries? We don’t want her to go! Thanks 🙂 ”

—Storytime Mum, 2015

Outstanding tools, unique ideas

“This morning, Sarah, filled in for the Rhymetime class and she was excellent. She engaged the babies/toddlers and her learning tools were outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed her fresh and unique ideas and are now looking into the ‘Phonemic Awareness’ with great enthusiasm and excitement.”

—Rhymetime Mum. 2013

The guitar is a standout

“Really enjoy the guitar being included in songs, I attend other libraries’ baby programs and the guitar is a standout! Also like dancing/marching/walking songs with bubbas.”
