Summary

I am an enthusiastic, passionate and dedicated mother and early childhood teacher with a fresh perspective and a strong foundation in early childhood development principles. I completed my Bachelor of Early Childhood Education Degree whilst having the opportunity to stay home and raise my 3 children since 2016. Through out my degree I learned with hands-on experience gained through, previous work opportunities, student teaching placements and my Internship. I am eager to apply innovative teaching methods and create a nurturing, stimulating environment for young learners. I am committed to fostering positive relationships with children, families, and colleagues, and excited to contribute to the growth and development of each child in a supportive and dynamic learning environment within the classroom.
