Over to Zoe…
I love working in early education as I feel like you get to relive your favourite parts of your own childhood all over again and have even more fun! I love working with children as no two days are the same and you never know what to quite expect a child to say or do. The excitement and happiness that children bring to ours lives is unmatched and I feel so lucky to work in an environment where I am surrounding by this each day. Within my personal philosophy I believe as an educator we are here to be the biggest support for all children and create strong relationships with all families to ensure trust is established.
When it comes to my career, I have been most proud of my career progression over the last five years. I began as a student on work placement to an assistant educator, then in to a room leader position and now in my position at Choklits Ringwood as an Administration and Communication Assistant.
When I’m not at Choklits, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, going for walks, watching movies and baking lots of yummy treats!
The funniest thing a child has said to me was when they were looking at a photos of me in my home life, where I did not have my glasses on. I was asked where my glasses where? I said that it was the morning, I had just gotten out of bed and I don’t where my glasses to bed. The next time this photo was shown the same child told the entire class “Zoe isn’t wearing her glasses because she just got out of bed and she does not wear her glasses to bed!”. This moment made me laugh to myself as it was amazing the detail and information this child took in and made sure everyone knew!
