Head Teacher

I am a fully qualified and registered teacher. I have been working in the early childhood sector for the last 11 years. I feel so privileged to be able to play such a special part in each individual child’s learning journey, and I love watching as they grow and learn throughout their time here with us. In my spare time, I love to get outdoors; I also enjoy cooking, baking, exercising and spending time with my partner, whanau and friends.

Caterpillar Room Leader

I am a NZ registered teacher. I am originally from the south part of China, and I have been living in Auckland for 5 years. I found my passion in teaching and caring for young Tamariki, so I started my study in Early Childhood Education. I have built up good relationships with our Tamariki, Kaiako and whanau in Kindy Cottage, and I enjoy working with you to support the best learning journey for our little ones!

Butterfly Room Leader

I am a NZ registered teacher. I have been working in ECE for 7 years now. I am passionate about creating a positive and nurturing environment where tamariki can explore freely and their learning is supported. I have 3 beautiful girls who keep me busy, and along with my fiancé, Brett, we enjoy going on adventures and creating memories together as a family. I look forward to working alongside your children and whānau.

Butterfly Room Teacher

I'm a NZ registered early childhood teacher. Growing up in a family where most members are educators, it seems teaching runs in my blood. From a young age, I've had a natural affinity for caring for children. I'm passionate about fostering a positive learning environment and nurturing the growth and development of young minds.

Beside being an early childhood teacher, I am also a badminton coach and art tutor.

Caterpillar Room Teacher

I am a fully registered teacher with five years of experience in early childhood education. I believe every child is a capable, competent, and curious learner. My role is to create a rich, engaging learning environment where children feel encouraged to explore, express themselves, and connect with the world around them.

Butterfly Room Teacher

I’m originally from beautiful Mangonui, Northland. As a registered early childhood kaiako, I strongly believe in the importance of building positive, lasting relationships with tamariki, their parents, and whānau. Through these connections, we gain a deeper understanding of each child’s unique funds of knowledge as well as the aspirations their whānau hold for their learning and development. I also value the role of free play in early childhood.

Caterpillar Room Teacher

I have been working in ECE for three years and have enjoyed every moment of it. As a mother of a young daughter, I understand the importance of providing a safe and nurturing environment where tamariki can learn and explore freely. I look forward to getting to know your children and whānau and working alongside them to create a positive and engaging learning environment.

I am currently studying a Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood Education) at Auckland University of Technology. I have 5+ years of experience working with children and alongside teaching teams.

Butterfly Room Teacher

I started my teaching journey in a Montessori school in Singapore, and I moved back to Auckland. My teaching approach emphasizes building respectful relationships with tamariki and their whānau, recognizing their vital role as first teachers, and promoting a sense of safety and belonging within the learning community.

Centre Cook

I have a wealth of food experience. Cooking is something I truly enjoy, and I am delighted to work in Kindy Cottage. Originally from Brazil, I am a proud mum of two energetic and cheerful kids. As a family, I enjoy the outdoors, sports, and bike rides—but also love winding down together with a good movie.
