Philippa holds a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education, is the kindergarten teacher at Choklits Croydon and has been working in early childhood education for over 12 years.
Over to Philippa…
I love working in early education and care because I love to work in a team. I also love developing and scaffolding the children’s learning as the grow through play and through their communication. I also love getting loads of cuddles, when I walk in the room each morning and throughout the day.
Throughout my career I’ve been most proud of following my dreams into teaching. In the past I have had a child learn the phonetic ‘ph’ sound, so when they went into school they remembered it and the teacher was surprised. Also having a child learn that her name had two(2) meanings, one a stones name and the other her name.
When I’m not at Choklits I love crocheting, getting out in the garden and visiting my friends. I also love to read mystery novels and Harry Potter. I also like to do adult relaxation colouring.
I have had many cute and funny things said to me over my 12 years, but the best three have been: “You’re our tickle monster, you make us smile and happy when we are sad” “Don’t you live at child care?” “I love you, Philippa”
