Kindergarten Director
I’ve been an early ed teacher since:
I started my teaching journey in primary school relief work, before transitioning into early childhood teaching in 2019.
My favourite thing about being an early ed teacher is
My favourite thing about being an early childhood teacher would be witnessing the joy of discovery in young children, seeing their excitement when they learn something new, solve a problem, or make a connection to the world around them is incredibly rewarding. The early years are such a crucial time for building confidence, curiosity and a love of learning, and being part of that journey is a privilege.
Something I like to tell all mums and dads is
Every child grows at their own pace, and the most important thing you can do is encourage their curiosity, celebrate their efforts, and make them feel safe and loved. The little moments-reading together, exploring nature, or simply having conversations-are what truly shape their learning journey.
My favourite way to relax is
Doing reformer Pilates, walking my dog, or finding somewhere to curl up with a book and some chocolate!
