About Me
My name is Rebecca (Becs). I live in Hororata with my husband Cody, my 3 children, Lincoln, Spencer and Regan, two cats and a very spoilt Staffy.
I have been a stay at home mum since 2016 and have always been interested in Early Childhood Education.
After watching my children grow and head off to school, I have decided to begin my journey into homebased education with Stems FROM HOME. This will allow me to stay present with my family, and also provide me with an avenue that I can pursue to enter back into the workforce and offer the opportunity to seek a new area of personal development.
As a Stems Educator, I believe that children learn through play in their own time and space. It is important that we provide a nurturing and engaging environment where children can learn, explore and thrive.
Our Time Together
I have great indoor and outdoor resources that provide opportunities for children to develop their skills and knowledge, and I set up resources and activities based on children’s current interests.
We love to explore the outdoors and enjoy lots of messy play, gardening and building.
Exploring our local community is part of our program, making use of the local domain, just across the road, going for walks, bike rides, and local playgrounds.
We also enjoy inside activities such as sensory and messy play, science experiments, baking, arts and crafts, and using our imagination in all aspects of our play.
I am looking forward to working alongside your children and getting to know your family.
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

* 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.

* 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).
