At the front desk, Katie is our friendly and enthusiastic enrolment coordinator, always ready to support families with their needs.

In the Nursery/Tupu room, Jen, a qualified teacher, is dedicated to building strong relationships with whānau to ensure the best care and education for our pepe. Michaela, our TinT Tupu teacher, brings her passion for learning to create engaging experiences for tamariki.

In the Karamū room, Jezzie, a recently graduated teacher, has a natural ability to connect with tamariki, making learning fun while building strong relationships with children and their whānau.
