    Hi I’m Kayla! I’m a qualified early childhood educator with over five years of experience, with a strong passion for supporting the development of infants and toddlers. I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and am passionate about creating nurturing, play-rich environments where tamariki can thrive through exploration, creativity, and meaningful relationships. I especially enjoy supporting children’s learning through free play and creative expression, with a strong focus on art as a way for tamariki to make sense of their world. Originally from Wellington, I’ve recently moved to Levin with my partner Connor and our beautiful daughter Arlia, who’s nearly two. Becoming a parent has deepened my appreciation for the early years, and I’m committed to forming respectful, trusting relationships with tamariki and their whānau—partnerships that are at the heart of quality early learning.

    I’m looking forward to getting to know you all and being part of your learning journey.
