Kia ora koutou,
My name is Sarah Kelly, and I am a mother to two beautiful boys, Cooper Ted who is five, and Asher James who is one. They are my world. I have been with my partner Eleven years.
I am a qualified and fully registered kaiako, I have been in the ECE sector for almost ten years.
My philosophy as a kaiako is based purely around relationships, pedagogical approaches that influence my teaching philosophy are Emmi Picklers approach, respecting the child, listening to the child, and believing in the child. As an educator I believe it is important to teach from the heart. This also includes positive guidance and lots of communication. To support the child emotionally, physically, spiritually, and overall wellbeing. The children to know they are loved and part of one big caring family.
In my spare time I spend my time with my children, my partner, friends, and family! We have a busy social life filled with sports and lots of racing! We are bit of a car crazy whaanau. Also love getting outside and heading to the beach with our family dog!
I am so excited to be a part of the wise owl Whaanau and be on this beautiful learning journey all together as one.
