Journey Marment
Pukekohe,Auckland
Summary
Kia ora. I am a passionate early childhood kaiako who strongly values fostering trusting, reciprocal relationships as the foundation for all learning and the most valuable resource. I bring a growth mindset, always seeking opportunities to learn and try new things. I love creating a safe, nurturing, beautiful, and engaging environment for tamariki to explore. I am experienced in individual planning, learning assessment and documentation using StoryPark, internal evaluation, policy review and running whanau workshops.
