Summary

As an educator, I see children as smart and adventurous learners.

I strongly believe that educators and families need to work closely together for the benefit and overall development of the child. I acknowledge and support the uniqueness of each family and the significance of their culture, customs, language and values.

I will endeavour to support each individual child's emotional, social, physical and intellectual needs.
