Alisi Vaitohi- Team Leader over 2’s and Centre Supervisor

Malo e Lelei and greetings to you all. I graduated with a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education from AUT University. I am passionate teaching children and watching them become confident individuals. I enjoy working alongside children and their families to ensure that they develop holistically. I am daily challenged by our children and love learning from them. (Archers Road)

Kio Ora… Namaste

 I have been in New Zealand for past 12 years.  I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Education from AUT in 2012.  This is my very first job in the field of ECE, and I feel very fortunate to be part of such a vibrant family at Little People … it is a “Home away from Home” for children as well as for teachers.  
For years I had aspired to work with children because there is no dull moment with them around.  I believe that children are competent and capable learners who are keen to explore their interests, and my role as a teacher is to support/assist them to investigate their individual interests in order to enable them develop the skills dispositions necessary to become confident lifelong learners. 
I am a mother of two beautiful children and I love spending time with my family.
