About Me
Kia ora, my name is Sharyn. I am a married mum of three and live in Onekawa, Napier. With years of experience as a home-based educator, I am passionate about providing a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where children feel valued, supported, and encouraged to learn through play. My home offers a welcoming "home away from home" setting where children can build friendships, discover new interests, and enjoy enriching experiences both at home and out in the community.

My Philosophy
I believe every child is unique, capable and full of potential. I provide a safe, loving and nurturing environment where children feel valued, respected and a strong sense of belonging.
I believe children learn best through play, exploration and everyday experiences. I encourage curiosity, independence, kindness and confidence, while supporting each child to learn and grow at their own pace.
Most importantly, I want every child in my care to feel happy, loved and confident to be themselves.
My Environment
A home away from home, where children can learn, create, and explore in a nurturing environment. Our days are filled with baking, arts and crafts, indoor and outdoor play, and plenty of opportunities for imaginative learning. We also enjoy weekly outings within the community, including visits to bike parks, local parks, and nature spaces, giving children the chance to stay active, build confidence, and connect with the world around them.
