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.

My Environment

I live in Oamaru with my husband and daughter. Our home is warm and welcoming, with a fully fenced, secure play area where children can explore safely. We also have a variety of resources to support learning and development.

Our family includes a dog and a cat, adding to the friendly and nurturing environment for the children.

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.
