### About Me

I have been a home-based educator for 11 years and hold a Level 4 Certificate in Early Childhood Education and Care. I am based in Greymouth on the West Coast, and my home is filled with resources! I have a large section that allows for plenty of space for outdoor fun.

 I am a busy wife and mum, and in my spare time, I enjoy catching up with family and friends.

 

## Places We Like To Visit

## Local parks   Beach   Local cycle tracks

## My Availability

I am available Monday- Thursday, 9am-3pm. 

I have space for an over-2-year-old Tuesday and Thursday 

## My Philosophy

I believe children learn best through play. I am also a big believer in children needing routines and also consistency. I strive to make my learning environment a safe and happy space for the children, and also their families as it really does take a village.

 

## My Environment

I offer lots of indoor and outdoor space. We have a 1/4 acre section, that offers a lot of space to ride bikes, kick a ball, run around, sand pit with a closed in space, a mini trampoline, playhouse and also a army tank playhouse.

Indoors I have a closed in conservatory which is our messy play area where we paint, explore playdough, general art and crafts. Inside I have a huge selection of toys, puzzles and general toys of cars, trains, blocks, dolls and other resources.

 

## My Training

I have National Certificate in Early Childhood and Care (Level 4) and a current first aid course. Both of these are displayed in my conservatory.
