My Philosophy

I believe that education begins from birth and a successful education is when strong, respectful, caring relationships are formed. Children are precious gifts to us and every child is different and learns differently, therefore, they must be respected and acknowledged for their uniqueness so that they can reach their full potential. I also understand the importance of Hauora (well-being) which includes – mental, physical, emotional, social and spiritual well-being, which I endeavour to reflect in my practice.

By role modelling how much we care about small things like rescuing a bee, taking care of a flower or helping a friend, we show the world what we value and respect and each small step that we take is part of the important aspect of respecting our planet and all that’s in it.
