Kia ora
I've wanted to be a teacher since I was five, inspired by my caring new entrant teacher. After completing a Bachelor of Teaching (Primary) in 2006, I discovered my passion was in early childhood education and completed a Graduate Diploma in ECE from Massey in 2007.
I’ve been teaching in ECE since 2008. What I love most is supporting teachers to create safe, nurturing spaces where tamariki feel confident to learn and grow. My favourite time of year is summer, perfect for water play and whanau gatherings. Outside of work, I enjoy gardening, beach trips, and spending time with my dog.
What makes us special
About Lollipops New Plymouth
At Lollipops New Plymouth, we focus on creating an inclusive environment where every child feels valued. Our team embraces each child’s unique interests and backgrounds, supporting them in a space that encourages exploration, creativity, and a sense of belonging.
Our centre features purpose-built learning environments, large outdoor play areas, and sensory experiences designed to cater to all our children’s needs. We also offer meals that reflect the children’s home cultures, helping them feel at ease and at home.
Centre life includes regular park walks, imaginative play, arts and crafts, and much more. These learning experiences help nurture curiosity, provide opportunities for both independent and group learning, and support the development of essential skills.
