I am Saskia and have been working in early childhood education since 2014 and am a Provisionally Registered Teacher. I was raised in Whangarei Heads and have crossed the harbour to work in the beautiful One Tree Point. My passion in early childhood education is to nurture each child’s wairua, individuality and identity while providing them with a play based curriculum. Nga mihi nui.
