Summary
Motivated and nurturing Early Childhood professional with a Graduate Diploma in Early Childhood Education and current ECT approval, presently working as an Assistant Educator at Amiga Montessori. I bring a year of hands-on experience in Montessori environments, including 6 weeks as an Acting Room Leader where I led classroom operations, mentored educators, and facilitated child-led learning aligned with both the Montessori philosophy and the EYLF. My approach is grounded in respect, patience, and a deep belief in every child’s potential. I am now seeking to step confidently into an ECT role at Amiga Montessori, where I can contribute my leadership, curriculum knowledge, and passion for early learning to further support the children, families, and team.
