(Dip Teaching, Early Childhood)

Kia Ora, It is my pleasure to be working as a Coordinator in the Manuwatu Area for Home Grown Kids.

I am a registered teacher, with a diploma of teaching in Early Childhood. I am also a certified Parent Educator and National Trainer for the Born to Learn curriculum, and a National Presenter for the Aotearoa Infant Brain Development Trust. I have worked as an Early Childhood Educator for over 30 years, with the last 12 years involving specialist work in early brain development from conception to 5 years.

I have a special interest in how early experiences affect the growing brain, and am passionate about working in a role where I am able to support families, educators and nannies in giving children the very best start in life. I am the mother of 2 adult children and Grandmother of 5.
