“I’m the Educator in the 3- and 4-year-old Kinder and Prep Balam Balam Classroom and have been part of the Melbourne Montessori College community for the past 2.5 years. I hold a Master of Teaching in Early Childhood and Primary and an AMI Montessori 3–6 Diploma.
Witnessing children’s growing confidence and independence as they explore and make sense of the world around them motivates me in my practice. I am inspired by seeing children develop a genuine love of learning through hands-on experiences and meaningful engagement in the prepared environment. Supporting each child’s unique journey, fostering autonomy, and observing those powerful moments of concentration, discovery, and self-growth brings me deep professional fulfilment.
I take a child-centred, Montessori approach, creating a calm and inclusive environment where children feel safe, connected, and empowered to explore independently. I guide children with respect and patience, observing closely to respond to their individual needs and interests. I also foster a strong sense of community, working in partnership with families so they feel connected, valued, and part of the classroom community.”
