Tiny Nation Educator - Pongakawa, Tauranga
[Enquire Now](https://tinynation.co.nz/contact-us/)
### About Me
I have three adult children and three amazing grandchildren whom I just adore. I live in
Pongakawa, in the Sunny Bay of Plenty on a lifestyle block of land. We are enjoying
welcoming new additions of the animal kind into our whānau. I have been doing home-based childcare for 28 years, and I am still passionate about children learning in a home
environment, where they can have a secure attachment with one primary caregiver.
## Places We Like To Visit
## *Tiny Nation events* Pop-up playgroups Beach Library Local parks
## My Availability
I am available Monday-Friday, 7.30am-5pm (flexible).
## My Philosophy
I believe in a play-based learning environment, with a variety of experiences, where each
child can learn in a safe and secure environment. Every child is unique, and each learning style is different. Meaningful play encourages curiosity, discovery and problem-solving, which allows for individual growth and development and a positive self-image. I'm inspired by Magda Gerba, reviewing the child as a whole and respects and trusts the child to be a self-learner, with my support.
## My Environment
I have a special learning environment for tamariki that is set up to meet their needs for learning and development. We have a big, well-fenced backyard where children can run, play, set up obstacle courses, get dirty in our mud pit, build huts, and enjoy the sunshine! We have chickens and sheep that children can feed and learn how to take care of. We also go on outings in the community and other educators’ homes, where children can extend friendships.
## My Training
I hold the National Certificate in Early Childhood (Levels 3 and 4), and I hold a current
first-aid certificate. I've completed these additional courses: child protection, power to
protect, mindfulness, power of play, behaviour has meaning, transition to school, growing in connection, talk to me, adversity and self-care, transforming challenging behaviour and Teacher Tom conference.
