I am passionate about early childhood education and committed to a long-term career in this field. I focus on building trusting relationships with tamariki and their whānau, supporting their growth with empathy and enthusiasm. I respect the unique needs of each child and integrate Te Whāriki into my practice, creating fun learning opportunities like singing, dancing, and crafts while fostering cultural awareness.
I apply the concept of "whakawhanaungatanga" by building strong relationships through active listening, positive interactions, and mutual respect. I support my colleagues' professional growth by offering constructive feedback and celebrating their achievements, fostering a collaborative and empowering environment.
