My Philosophy

I'm a firm believer in the free-play philosophy but I do have routines for sleeping and eating.

I work with my families to create a programme for each child, ensuring everyone has their individual needs met. I also believe that communication is very important.

I provide an environment where each child has the space, time, and resources they need to grow and develop, to extend their learning and interests, and to explore their world. I encourage the children to spend time outside in nature by going for walks, growing vegetables and flowers, and also caring for our animals.

My Environment

I live in Herbert, Oamaru with my husband and our younger two children, aged 12 and 17.

My warm and welcoming home sits on 5 acres of land. We have a fully fenced, secure area for the children to play outside and a wealth of resources to support learning and development.

We have a dog, two cats, some hens, cows, and pigs.

My Training

I hold the National Certificate in Early Childhood (Levels 3 and 4). I have a current first-aid certificate and I have attended many webinars and personal development courses during my career as an educator.
