Summary

I am a passionate educator with qualifications and experience in early childhood education. I have a natural ability to develop connections with children, supporting their potential growth while recognising that they are already competent and capable. I enjoy building relationships and working alongside peers and parents. I have strong communication skills, a patient and friendly demeanour along with keen observational skills.
