Our People

I have been teaching in Early Childhood since then and have worked with a variety of ages. I have worked with Lollipops since 2008, my son Oliver attended when he was five and a half months old. Becoming
a mother has inspired my passion and interest with Infants and how they grow and develop. I transferred to Lollipops Birkenhead in 2018, working in the Infant rooom. After some time I was offered the position of Team Leader which I accepted. I now lead a small team of qualified, registered, and passionate teachers working towards the same goal to provide quality care for our Infants and young toddlers.
I feel very honoured to be looking after your precious tamariki and creating a home away from home while in your absence.

I believe all tamariki have the right to a loving and safe learning environment where they can grow and develop to their fullest potential regardless of their culture or background. We implement a key teacher system for our tamariki when they first start in our centre, this enables their emotional well-being to be fostered and supported along with creating strong and collaborative partnerships with their whanau and extended whanau to make the transition process smooth for everyone involved.

I look forward to welcoming new tamariki and their whnau into our beautiful centre. We thank you for choosing our centre and for trusting us to care for your precious tamariki. We teach from the heart and believe relationships are the care to all that we do.

Working in this profession requires dedication, commitment and a great deal of love for our little learners. My goal is to always make time to recognize our learners, listen to what they have to say, make them feel loved thereby giving them the security and the confidence to explore their learning environment.

 I really enjoy being
with children, listening to their
voices and documenting their
learning. I believe in the great
value that whanau’s connection
and participation make in
children’s learning journey. I can
speak Mandarin and English.
I would love to share with your
child's learning here at Lollipop
Birkenhead.

As a qualified teacher, I hope to bring the most meticulous care and professional education to children. My teaching philosophy is as follows:

1. I believe that all the children are competent and confident learners.
2. I believe that teachers are important scaffolders on the path of children’s learning and development.
3. I believe that whanau is the source of the children’s funds of knowledge.

I look forward to getting to know the children and their families well over time.

Thank you.
