Meet Anneka
Anneka’s decision to invest in a Rhythm Time franchise has been life-changing. As a former Head of Humanities with 14 years of teaching experience, she loved her career but needed more flexibility to spend quality time with her young children. After attending Rhythm Time classes with her own little ones, she realised it was the perfect opportunity to combine her passion for early childhood development with a career that fit her family life.
Franchising offered the ideal balance of independence and support. Rhythm Time’s established brand and proven framework gave her the confidence to take the leap, while the franchise provided invaluable training, operational guidance, and ongoing mentorship. Anneka has successfully transferred her teaching skills—like communication, organisation, and empathy—into running engaging classes and growing her business.
“Owning a Rhythm Time franchise has allowed me to do what I love, create a flexible schedule, and enjoy the rewards of making a difference in young lives.”
