Malo e Lelei. My name is Ati Nemaia and I am one of the Kaiako in Whero Room here at Happy Learning Childcare. I have been teaching for 7 years in the Early Childhood Education sector and it has been a pleasure yet, rewarding experience to watch our young tamariki grow into beautiful individuals. Happy Learning Childcare has become a space to foster new learning not only for myself, but also for our tamariki, whanau and the community. Teaching is my life’s passion and with my years of experience, my teaching philosophy believes in creating a space that allows our children to explore new learning opportunities. I am a strong believer in keeping a strong open line of communication between home and the centre, as it allows parents and whanau to be a part of their children’s learning always. I look forward to meeting all your wonderful children and embark on a new and exciting learning journey together!
