What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to innovate in early childhood education, collaborate with like-minded professionals, and contribute to the development of effective teaching strategies.

I am a passionate and dedicated early childhood educator with a Bachelor of Education in Early Childhood Education. My commitment lies in creating a stimulating, safe, and developmentally appropriate educational environment for young learners. I aim to foster their cognitive, social, emotional, and physical skills through innovative teaching strategies and curriculum development.

Throughout my career, I have successfully spearheaded curriculum initiatives that resulted in significant improvements in student engagement and achievement. My experience as a preschool teacher at Brainston School and a tutor at Kibini ECD College has equipped me with the skills to implement child-centered teaching methodologies and enhance the learning experience for preschool children. I am also dedicated to continuous professional development, having facilitated workshops and collaborated with community organizations to promote holistic child development.
