For Children Aged 4 -5

KINDER EDUCATIONAL ROOM LEADER

Hello, Kio ora, Ni hao, everyone,

My name is Stella and I’m the ECT Room Leader of Kinder Room at Figtree Early Learning Centre. I love children and it is my passion to support our children to become independent and competent learners from their fundamental early years.

Having more than 10 years of experience in this sector, I couldn’t wait to work in the partnership with parents and families to provide quality care and dynamic school readiness programs, featuring play-based learning, literacy and numeracy, and independence training for our Kinders.

Figtree is such a warm place to work in, where managers and all other team members are super supportive. It brings all people together with the sole goal of giving who we care the best services.

I moved from New Zealand to Sydney with my small family more than a year ago. I love nature and I also like reading, shopping and catching up with friends.
