Greenwood Notting Hill

My career in early childhood education began in 2012, and I joined the team at Greenwood Notting Hill in 2024. I am a fully registered VIT teacher with over a decade of experience in various roles, including Lead Educator, Educational Leader, Assistant Centre Manager, and Centre Manager.

I am passionate about creating a warm and nurturing environment for children and making a positive impact on their lives. Every day, I witness their curiosity, imagination, and eagerness to learn. Each child embarks on a unique journey shaped by their experiences, developmental readiness, and cultural heritage. It is incredibly rewarding to nurture their natural sense of wonder and guide them through the early stages of their educational journey.

My philosophy revolves around recognising the interplay between a child’s inherent qualities and their environment and understanding how these dynamics influence growth and development. Attending an early childhood education centre exposes children to diverse experiences and perspectives. They interact with peers from various backgrounds, cultures, and family structures, promoting tolerance, empathy, and understanding from a young age. These social interactions lay the foundation for essential communication and collaboration skills, which are vital for future success.

I firmly believe it takes a village to raise a child, and I am committed to supporting families as part of that village. Building meaningful relationships with families is a cherished aspect of this profession. At Greenwood Notting Hill, our educators and teachers build trust and rapport with each child and their family. This enhances the learning experience and fosters a sense of community and belonging.

I believe that children thrive when they take ownership of their learning in environments that spark curiosity and creativity. My approach is all about hands-on experiences, encouraging problem-solving, critical thinking, and social-emotional growth through play and collaboration.

Every child is unique, and I love celebrating their individual strengths, interests, and cultural backgrounds. By creating an inclusive and engaging space, I aim to inspire children to follow their own learning paths, helping them build confidence and a lifelong love of learning. I see my role as a guide and facilitator, supporting children as they explore, discover, and develop new skills in a way that feels meaningful to them. My goal is to provide a rich and stimulating environment where every child feels valued, capable, and excited to learn.

My philosophy as an Early Childhood Teacher is to create a learning environment that is fun, exciting, and based on children’s interests, while also honoring their cultural and family backgrounds.

I believe that a teacher’s role is not just to instruct but to observe, guide, and support each child’s individual journey. Learning should be holistic, integrating intellectual, physical, emotional, and social development to help children grow in every aspect of their lives. I strive to create a warm and nurturing space where children feel safe to explore, express themselves, and develop essential life skills.

By building strong relationships and tailoring experiences to meet each child’s needs, I aim to foster confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning—helping them take small steps toward big futures!
