Anita Vohra , Centre Manager
What inspired you to become an early childhood teacher?
I have always loved children and when I came to New Zealand I relieved in a few centres and decided to study early childhood. I’ve been working in early childhood for over 15 years now. I think it is such a rewarding profession - the smile on a child’s face says it all.
