### About Me

I see children as competent and enthusiastic learners, with me - the kaiako, observing, listening and supporting, while ensuring their voices are heard and valued.

## Places We Like To Visit

## *Tiny Nation events* Pop-up playgroups

## My Availability

I am available Monday-Friday, 7.30am-5pm.

I have space on a Tuesday for an over-2-year-old.

 

## My Philosophy

I believe all children, no matter what race, gender, or religion, can reach their full potential and grow to be knowledgeable and constructive learners, in a positive reciprocal environment with support, encouragement and a sense of equality.

I involve the children and whānau in sourcing ideas, resources and support. This allows me to expand on activities that help children develop skills and knowledge while creating a diverse environment that supports play-based learning.

## My Environment

I live in Gore, Southland.

I aim to inspire greatness, in a holistic setting, with the emphasis being on building children's strengths and understanding.

I create a nurturing reciprocal, inclusive environment, to inspire children to feel passionate and creative. I support them on their journey to become positive, valued members of society.

I am proud to be involved in a curriculum that has Te Whāriki and the Tiriti o Waitangi to guide us through the combination of cultures in Aotearoa, giving children a voice.

## My Training

I hold the National Certificate in Early Childhood (Level 4) and I have a current first-aid certificate.
