Lauren started relieving in 2009, this led to her passion of helping tamariki develop their own knowledge of how to explore the world around them. Lauren has over 12 years experience working across the Selwyn community, working full time as a teacher in all age groups.
In 2010 Lauren took a small break to start a family of her own. Lauren has four beautiful children which fills her days with entertainment, sport events, dance, and my her study and sport.
During lockdown Lauren realised “you should follow your dreams, passion”. Lauren decided to followed hers and began her studying journey. Lauren joined us here at preschool in 2022 and we are super lucky to have this rare gem join our kaiako team.
Lauren believes that every tamariki is a unique individual, a taonga, that deserves the right to have respect, share their own voice and be herd. She believes that tamariki should be nurtured, feel safe and secure in their environment. Lauren enjoys the outdoors and feel nature is such a natural provocation for the children to experience.
