Kia Ora/Nihao, my name is Cathy. With a bachelor degree in teaching (ECE) and over five years of experience working with young children, I am a passionate about fostering a nurturing and creative learning environment inspired by Pikler approach. My teaching philosophy is rooted in three core values: Aroha, Respect and Trusting relationships. I believe that every child deserves to feel valued, supported and empowered to reach their full potential. Outside of teaching, I’m a proud cat lover and share my home with two adorable feline companions, Fuyao and Waka, who bring endless joy and inspiration to my life.
