Alice El Hachimi, Centre Manager
What inspired you to become an early childhood teacher?
I am the eighth in a brood of nine, coming from a big family, I grew up playing and looking after my nephews and nieces (they are 26 of them, to be precise) so it was a natural progression for me to take up a profession that would reflect my love for children and passion for teaching.
moreEmma Killens, Teacher in Training
My name is Emma and I am passionate about early childhood education and care. I am a qualified nanny and am currently in my second year of study, working towards gaining my Bachelors in ECE. I enjoy providing sensory play learning experiences for children as I love messy play. I enjoy spending time with friends and family in my spare time.
Reshmi Palackaparambil, Teacher
Namaskaram, kia ora whanau,
My name is Reshmi. I come from the beautiful South Indian state of Kerala and I live in Auckland with my husband and two children. I was a secondary teacher in my home country and after moving to New Zealand I became inspired by the ECE system here. My passion for working alongside children is watching them grow and develop, and creating special moments through conversation, imagination and friendship. I enjoy the joy and wonder early childhood education has to offer and I feel privileged to be a big part of a child’s early development years.
