After gaining my Diploma, and becoming a Qualified ECE in 2000, I worked for several years as an Educational Leader across all age groups and into the role of Director. I am fortunate to have worked for both a large ECE company and independent private early childhood services.

These are the values and philosophy that I hold greatly and hope to fulfil this through my teaching.
