ChristineRegistered Teacher
Bachelor of Teaching - Early Childhood I love to explore and research alongside children and believe they provide us with a special insight into the world. Children are competent and confident problem solvers and I enjoy helping them set their own goals and construct working theories about their world. I like to see children actively explore with all their senses both indoors and out. |
