Despina Christofi
@despinachristofi
Early Childhood Educator who blends Montessori teaching with strong, parent-focused communication.
What I'm looking for
With experience in both customer service and early childhood education, I’ve built strong communication and interpersonal skills by working closely with customers, parents, children, and colleagues. I thrive in team environments and adapt quickly to new challenges while staying professional in fast-paced situations.
As a Customer Service - Team Lead, I provided high-quality customer service and resolved inquiries efficiently. I also coordinated daily shift operations and supported team members, maintaining quality standards while managing tasks in a busy setting.
In education, I plan and implement engaging daily lesson plans and educational activities aligned with the curriculum. I maintain an organised, positive learning environment that supports children’s individual development through attentive care and structure.
Currently as an Early Childhood Educator at Alpha Montessori, I organise and deliver Montessori-based learning activities tailored to children’s developmental needs. I manage daily classroom operations, prioritise tasks, and guide the teaching assistant to maintain high standards of care, organisation, and professionalism—while pursuing an MBA in Business Administration.
