Messy play experiences allow tamariki to explore, identify and investigate with their bodies senses. Although ‘MESSY’ these can provide many rich learning opportunities for tamariki. We would love to see photos of your tamariki engaging with the experiences you have created at home.

Welcome Marjan to our Toddlers Room.Kia ora, my name is Majran. I am originally from Persia. A beautiful country which is famous for hospitable and kind people. I have been in NZ since 2016 with my husband. I have a Graduate Diplomat of Early Childhood Teaching from Waikato University. I have 10 years experience working with children. I really love my job and it is my biggest pleasure to spend my time with children. I am passionate about teaching children and believe in supporting them with learning and development as they grow to be competent young people in our society. I love supporting children to build their self-esteem and confidence, so they feel accepted, valued and proud of who they are and what they can do. I am kind, friendly, generous and energetic. I love dancing, listening to music and spending time with my family and friends.
