My Activities
My Background and Experience
With 22 years of experience in home-based childcare and a Level 4 New Zealand Certificate in Early Childhood Education, I have had the privilege of nurturing and fostering the development of many young children. My extensive experience has provided me with the skills and knowledge to create engaging, supportive learning environments tailored to meet the diverse needs of each child. I am dedicated to providing high-quality care that encourages growth, exploration, and a love of learning in every child.
My Home-Based Childcare Philosophy
As a home-based educator, I have the opportunity to create a unique and deeply personal learning environment where each child’s individual needs are carefully listened to and thoughtfully addressed. My approach is grounded in the principles of Te Whāriki and play-based learning, focusing on crafting tailored experiences that celebrate the uniqueness of each child. I strive to foster an environment where children feel encouraged to explore, connect, and thrive at their own pace, promoting their growth and development in a nurturing and supportive setting.
My Learning Environment
My learning environment highlights the unique benefits of learning within the comfort and warmth of a home setting. I take a proactive approach, observing, engaging, and inspiring each child, facilitating meaningful moments of discovery and growth that leave a lasting impression. With over a decade of heartfelt dedication to home-based education in New Zealand, I remain passionate about creating a nurturing and vibrant space where children feel valued, understood, and excited to learn every day. I strive to maintain a balanced routine that blends enriching home activities with opportunities to explore the broader community, including visits to local parks, gyms, playgroups, and the zoo, fostering both social and developmental growth.
Family Testimonial
I am pleased to endorse Raewyn Jones for her early childhood teaching and expertise. We have had the pleasure of having Raewyn teach and care for our daughter over the past two years. The home is immaculate and a lovely space for which the kids can enjoy. The range of activities that are on offer both on and off site are extensive, the children are very fortunate. Raewyn’s professionalism, communication and kindness is simply amazing, we couldn’t ask for a better early childhood experience for our daughter. Our family have developed a great relationship both on a personal and professional level and would highly recommend Raewyn to anyone who is wanting the best for their children.
Raewyn is the most caring and loving early childhood carer we could have asked for our children. Our daughter has had the privilege to be cared by Raewyn for the past two years since the age of 8 months and our other daughter will be starting soon. We have watched our daughter thrive developmental over this period. We are so impressed with the structure, incredible excursions interactive play and learning opportunities Raewyn provides each day. We couldn’t ask for a better early childhood experience for our children.
