Teaching Philosophy:

"I strongly believe that all children have a right to equal and inclusive care at preschool irrespective of their race, gender, ability, or religion. I endeavour for this to be reflected in each one of my interactions with the children every single day. I am particularly passionate about supporting children with additional needs to be their best selves. I feel privileged to be in a position to be able to provide this support to children and their families. I strive to create a warm, fun, safe and educational space for all children where they feel right at home. I have worked within the child care industry for over 20 years.

I have two teenage daughters who keep me on my toes, a dog called Reggie who is ball/car obsessed and a cat called Zoe who does absolutely nothing! I enjoy being by the sea, at home with my tribe and in the garden growing anything that survives. My creative outlet is macrame and my big learning love comes from uni studies."
