Summary

As a childcare educator, I firmly believe that the early years of a child's life are foundational for their growth, development, and lifelong journey. My philosophy is centred around the following key principals: cultural diversity, learning through play, and providing opportunities for exploration, discovery, creation, imagination as well as working collaboratively with families to support their children's learning journeys.
