Our People

I have a passion for including and supporting our hauā, our uniquely different children. Every child is important, every child is an individual. I believe the inclusion of children with disabilities, or any children, is about providing children with the equality of opportunities rather than treating everyone the same. This is the backbone of my teaching philosophy; that we should celebrate all the things that make us different. Celebrating all languages and cultures that are part of our centre whānau.

I love to provide children with learning activities which show them how capable they are.  I give them the opportunity to try new activities and experiences that challenge them and what they believe they can do. So they can find the solutions on their own, and discover exactly how amazing each one of our tamariki are.

I have a range of experience within ece and have a passion for working with children and supporting them in their different learning journeys. I strongly believe partnerships and relationships between, Tamariki, whanau and kaiako are essential for children's sense of belonging, and that children's environments and relationships influence their learning, development and wellbeing. So, I love to incorporate a range of fun experiences into my teaching. I am excited to get to be joining the team at Learning Adventures as the under 2's Team leader, and can't wait to properly meet all the tamariki and whanau, and get to know you all.

As a teacher I am committed to making a positive impact on the lives of our Tamariki, I strive to provide a warm, nurturing, safe and supportive environment where children are able to explore, learn and have fun. I believe that building strong relationships with Tamariki and Whanau is a crucial part of fostering a secure learning environment. I am also not afraid to get my hands dirty and you may often find me participating in activities alongside Tamariki. 

I am big on family so beyond the classroom I am often spending time with family and friends. My partner and I have just bought our first house so currently one of our hobbies is renovations and home DIY’s! I also hope to enrol in study soon and work to become a qualified teacher in ECE.
