Meet Poonam
Hello, I’m Poonam. I was raised on the stunning island of Fiji before relocating to Melbourne, Australia, where I earned my Early Childhood Education qualification. I then moved to New Zealand to continue to pursue my passion for working with children. I take great joy in helping children learn and flourish in a warm, homely atmosphere that fosters their development.
I am committed to establishing and nurturing positive relationships with both the children and their families, ensuring that your little ones feel right at home.

My Activities
My Background and experience
I am a qualified and experienced educator with a deep passion for working with children. While in Fiji, I cared for the children of my friends and neighbors. I then pursued my studies in Early Childhood Education in Melbourne, Australia, where I worked at a childcare centre before relocating to New Zealand. After gaining valuable experience in early childhood centres, I chose to establish my own home-based childcare and continue my journey as an educator.
My Home-Based Childcare Philosophy
I aim to provide a safe, warm, and nurturing environment that fosters growth and development. I believe in a play based learning approach where children are able to explore a variety of learning experiences based on their interests where they can explore, discover, create, and use their imagination. I believe family relationships are important in building secure and positive connections with your child so they feel at home with me.
My learning Environment
I provide opportunities for children to explore, discover, create and use their imagination with a variety of learning experiences based off their individual interests. I enjoy doing gardening with the children, making play dough, arts and crafts, sensory activities and much more!
