Kia ora Wise Owl whaanau,
My name is Mikayla, I am a qualified and fully registered kaiako and have been in the ECE sector for 18 years both domestically and internationally. In 2017, I relocated to China to open a kindergarten based on the concept of New Zealand’s Early Childhood Curriculum, ‘learning through play.’
I live out on a farm in Hampton Downs. I love the peace and quiet of country living and have dogs, cats and pigs. In my spare time I like to read, cook, travel, be at the beach and spend time with my family and friends.
I have been a part of Wise Owl for a number of years now and I believe that it is our responsibility as kaiako to provide each child in our care with the best possible opportunities to grow, develop and reach their fullest potential. It is a privilege that we can make a positive impact and give tamariki the best possible start in life. I accept this responsibility with great passion and enthusiasm. I am looking forward to working closely with your whaanau, and contributing to your child’s learning journey.
