I believe that children are unique in their own special ways and are very capable of achieving especially when they feel safe and respected in their learning environment. I also believe in the importance of catering to individual needs, abilities, interests and learning styles to make learning more personalised and meaningful. My aim as an educator is to create an inviting and safe space where mutual trust and respect can be developed, whilst providing hands-on learning experiences that are fun, stimulating, challenging and achievable. Ultimately, I aim to shape children’s minds in the way they behave and think so they grow to become individuals who are positive and resilient

Estefania : Assistant Educator
I’m convinced that children will contribute to our future in greater ways if we support them positively during their early years. It is important for them to have the opportunity to use their imagination and creativity to wonder, discover and play in a safe and nurturing environment, which us educators work daily to provide them with. During their process of learning, in which both educators and children learn together, it is key to respect each child’s uniqueness, strengths and abilities, which will allow them to boost their confidence and self esteem. It is also essential to highlight the relationships our preschool build with the famiVyglies, acknowledging their diversity into the program. My aim is to create positive lasting memories with children, make them feel safe and encourage them throughout their development.

I believe that children’s early exploration of the world is vital to their understanding of it later on. For this reason I promote and encourage learning through play and aim to provide many fun opportunities and activities for children to conduct their own exploration under. I also believe that it is important to create a safe environment for children to come to each day where they feel safe and appreciated, for this reason developing healthy, meaningful bonds and relationships with children are of the highest importance to me.
