Kiaora

My name is Shannon. I became an early childhood teacher to support young children on a lifelong learning journey in a nurturing, fun, and imaginative environment. I’ve worked in the sector for eleven years and love building strong relationships with tamariki and whanau, making a positive difference in their lives.

Watching children grow, learn, and inspiring our kaiako is incredibly rewarding. Lollipops Tauranga stands out for its cultural diversity, passionate teaching team, and spacious, purpose-built learning environments. My favourite times are celebrations with tamariki and whanau, whether cultural events, birthdays, or special occasions. I have a Bachelor of Teaching in Early Childhood Education.

Our Centre
Open Close

At Lollipops Tauranga, we emphasise creating a supportive and respectful environment that nurtures children’s independence, self-help skills, and curiosity. Our multicultural centre is built to provide space for children to learn at their own pace, with teachers facilitating their growth through engaging learning experiences.
Our purpose-built centre features a spacious outdoor area and a natural outlook, providing plenty of room for children to explore. We’re conveniently located near local cafés and across from Te Kura O Manaui, making it a great spot for families.
Throughout the day, children are encouraged to participate in various learning experiences tailored to their age group. From quiet learning moments to adventurous outdoor play, each child’s unique learning journey is supported by our caring team.
