About Me
My name is Neethu. I have been living in New Zealand for 10 years and have worked in various educational roles during this time. I have most recently been a reliever teacher for 2 years. Before this, I was a youth worker at Emerge Aotearoa, contributing to and implementing activity plans for children. From March 2018 to 2021, I worked as a Child and Youth Practitioner, which grew my passion for becoming an Educator.
At home, I have two children—my eldest son, who is a teenager at high school, and my youngest daughter, who is a baby, full of joy and enthusiasm for meeting new people. I look forward to supporting your children’s growth and development in my care.
Our Time Together
I will provide a safe and nurturing home environment with plenty of sensory activities to support motor skill development. I love to celebrate the strengths and differences that each child brings to our group, and we will 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.
House Keeping
* First Aid/Civil Defence Kit * Cot/bed * Highchair * Car seats
* Personal linen and hand towels
* A quiet home environment, in which children are able to have really good naps (if needed). If your child has a dummy or security object for sleep time, please send these inside their bag.
* Programme planning and monthly learning stories about your child’s individual learning and development, by using Educa (online portfolios).
* A change of clothes as we like to fully experience everything we do!
* A hat and sunblock in summertime. Please apply sun block to your child in the morning and I will reapply during the day.
* Gumboots and a raincoat for the rainy months
* Sufficient nappies, wipes/cream, bibs, and feeding bottles
* A healthy packed lunchbox and a water bottle
Please remember to bring along your child’s Stems Journal. These
are a useful communication tool for sharing daily entries about your
child’s day, care routines, happenings and up-coming events).
