Our People

Crystal Fowler , Centre Manager

Ulka Joshi, Team Leader Koru Room

I am Ulka Joshi. My family includes my husband and two lovely daughters. I graduated in 2010 from the University of Auckland with an early childhood Graduate Diploma and have been working with Green Bay Early Childhood Centre since March 2016. I am passionate about providing quality early childhood education to children, parents and families.

My focus as head teacher is to maximise the collaborative relationships with parents, Whanau and caregivers to ensure the best possible outcomes for their children.

Sarah Middleton, Team Leader Kowhai Room

Kia Ora children and whanau, my name is Sarah Middleton and I am excited and thankful to be part of Lollipops Green Bay community. I have always enjoyed being around children as they are constantly surprising and amazing me with the things they can say, do, create and understand, and how fast their knowledge and skills can grow.

I completed the Graduate Diploma of Teaching in Early Childhood Education in 2008 and am glad to continue to expand my knowledge of children and teaching through growing relationships with our tamariki and my colleagues. Through my interests in food, dancing, music, exercise and the outdoors, I hope to offer another plate of knowledge to support the growth interests of our tamariki.
