Kia Ora Whānau!
My name is Chelsea and I work in both the Tiny Tigers and Mighty Monkeys classrooms here at Noah’s Ark.
I currently live with my wonderful partner Troy, and some of my interests include music, animals, exploring nature, and spending time with family and friends.
I began working with children from the very young age of around fourteen, when I decided to volunteer my time to work within an after-school programme here in Whanganui. Since then, I have discovered that working with tamariki is both a passion and strength of mine which I wanted to continue to pursue as a career.
Once I left High School in 2016, after completing my NCEA L3, I signed up to complete my Bachelor of Teaching in Early Childhood Education through the Open Polytechnic. I have not long completed this degree and look forward to implementing all the skills and knowledge that I have gained from it when working alongside children.
As an educator, I strongly believe in the importance of viewing each and every child as a capable and competent learner, regardless of their ages and stages of learning and development. I aim to foster the independence and unique interests and skills of each child and look forward to working alongside you and your tamariki to create strong and reciprocal relationships with them which are built on trust, respect, and care!
