I have a diploma of Early Childhood Education & Care qualification. I had 7 years of experience in preschool and child care centre in Melbourne, as well as overseas. I had experience in bilingual teacher (Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu, and English)
Children, teaching & learning, play & building relationships are my passions. So I'm excited to combine them all together in providing quality education & care in a small, home based setting. I believe childhood is precious & should be a time of magic, joy & fun. Not solely preparation for the future but also about just being & enjoying the present. I help children to develop a strong sense of identity, positive relationships & sound well-being. I believe that when children feel safe in their relationships & supported to be who they are, they can become confident, involved & capable learners. Children thrive on experimenting, exploring & doing things for themselves, so I encourage curiosity, independence & imagination. Reading together, being out in nature, valuing the process not just the end product, being creative, getting messy, making choices, problem solving & being active are all important parts of my program. I believe in allowing space to follow the children’s ideas & interests. So there is a mix of planned & emergent experiences in my program, reflecting the partnership between children, educator & families. I view ongoing reflection as an important part of life & learning, so regularly research & reflect on my practice.
