I strongly believe that children should make sense of their own learning for understanding and development.As a teacher I facilitate activities that engage children's inquisitive nature and foster a sense of involvement and discovery. i htrive on providing hands on activities that involve creative elemnts focussing on studemt's interests. reggio Emilia and constructivist approaches form the foundation for children to build on their own understanding through questioning, and discovering answers through the development of understanding

Early Childhood trained with a focus on children's cognitive development. A focus on Boys in Education, Numeracy and Literacy. studied ICT in Education and Multiliteracies involving communication through digital technologies.
