Meet Beata, Our Centre Manager

My name is Beata and I am very excited to open BestStart Riccarton Park. I am looking forward to supporting the teaching team and to getting to know you and your child but first I will tell you a little about me. 

I was born and raised in Hungary in Europa and I moved to Christchurch when I finished my studies as a primary teacher. I joined ABC Wigram 2 in 2006 . Soon I discovered the beauty of working with children under 5 and I dedicated myself to become a qualified early childhood teacher. I went to University of Canterbury and got my graduate diploma in ECE in 2008. Since then I have always been seeking learning opportunities to develop my teaching practices so I have been attending professional developments regularly to be able to implement all pedagogical theories to contribute to the intellectual, emotional and physical development of children under 5. 

I have been lucky enough to teach and be part of dedicated teams of BestStart Wigram and BestStart Parkside to develop great learning environments for all age groups under 5 since I became an early childhood teacher.  

I live with my husband and two school age children.
