About Me

Hello, I am Mamta.  I am Indian and lives in Shirley with my husband and young son.  We enjoy story time, the outdoors, and spending time with friends.  I am passionate about providing nurturing and supportive care for children in a homebased environment.  I also value that it enables me to have a work/life balance for my own son and include him in all of the relationships and learning experiences that are part of this. 
 
I strive to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere where children feel safe to explore, learn and grow.  My approach is centred around fostering curiosity, creativity and independence through play based learning activities.  I believe in building a strong partnership with parents to ensure the best possible care for their children.  I am also dedicated to continuing my education and staying updated on the latest information to provide the highest quality care.  I look forward to welcoming your child into my home and supporting their development every step of the way. 

Our Time Together

Through my programme children have a lovely balance of time spent in an engaging and fun environment and also going on outings within our community and making most of what’s on offer . Some of our favourite local places to go include Christchurch Park, Avebury Park, and Amberley Park.
 
We can regularly meet up with other Stems FROM HOME Educators and enjoy the different programme experience that Stems runs.  It is a great way for friendships to grow in the larger group as well as exploring new places or play ideas. 
 
I have a well resourced environment which can easily change to suit the needs and interests of children.  I love to celebrate the strengths and differences that each child brings to our group and we can constantly learn from each other.

Stems FROM HOME Programme

Stems FROM HOME run a varied weekly programme that all of our Educators, tamariki and whānau are welcome to attend. This includes;

Playgroup in Izone at our Stems base, Little Explorers (outdoor experiences and outings) and Music and Movement group in winter terms. Our Playgroup sessions include regular arts and crafts, imaginary play, chances to explore individual interests, as well as other fun visitors depending on current interests. All information is shared in our term flyers and planned from the children’s burgeoning interests.
