Assistant Senior Teacher
Kia ora
I have been teaching in Early Childhood Centres' since 2001 when I graduated with my Bachelor of Teaching and Learning (ECE).
I started teaching at Moa Kids in 2009 and in 2015 I became the Assistant Senior Teacher and curriculum leader of both the preschool and nursery.
I love teaching and I always say to people that I have the best job in the world. I am passionate about educating children. My aim is for the children I teach to love learning. I like to support and encourage children to find solutions to their problems, to challenge themselves and to find ways of sourcing information themselves.
I am inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy. I love the idea that the learning is directed by the child. I enjoy learning alongside the children and have learnt many interesting facts while researching with the children.
I have two children, a husband and a rabbit at home.
