Wendy (Rotorua)

I have been a home-based educator for almost 30 years, opening my home up to no more than 4 children at a time. I love providing care for children and am very passionate about what I do.   I have been married for over 30 years to my hands-on husband Craig and we have 2 married adult children and 2 grandchildren. My home is your home, and your beautiful babies are our extended family; when your child is in my care they are offered the same love and attention my own children and grandchildren receive, with a nurturing, stimulating and loving environment.

I love the one-on-one I can offer to the children, and respect that each child learns and grows at their own pace. I offer a safe and fun environment with an indoor-outdoor flow for your lovely children. Each and every child is given the chance to gain independence and express themselves in a fun, loving environment.   

We spend some mornings visiting the wider community attending mainly music, playgroup and local attractions in Rotorua. Afternoons are for sleep time for those needing it with their own room to sleep in and quiet time for the older children with stories, drawing or quiet play. I know as a parent that socialising can be a big thing on your mind, and I feel with attending local events in the community, children learn to socialise in a healthy way, meeting different groups of children to play with, and I have had many a child build lasting friendships through this.

I have a Level 3 Certificate in Early Childhood Education and have done a number of other professional development courses over the years.  

I really look forward to hearing from you.
