What I would like children to learn from me:  I want all children to believe in themselves.

What I would like children to learn from me: I hope children learn from me that kindness is powerful and that the way we treat one another truly matters. I want them to experience what it feels like to be cared for, listened to and valued, so they in turn learn to care deeply for others. Through everyday moments, sharing stories, resolving conflicts gently, comforting a friend, I model empathy, patience and compassion. I want childhood to be protected. A time where children are not rushed, not pressured to grow up too quickly, but given space to wonder, explore and simply be. A place where joy is found in muddy puddles, loose parts, dappled sunlight and shared laughter. I hope children develop a love and respect for the natural world. That they notice the changing sky, feel connected to the seasons, and understand that we are part of nature and not separate from it. Through caring for our environment, tending to plants, respecting living things and reducing waste, children learn that small hands can make a meaningful difference. Above all, I want every child to know they matter, their feelings are important, and kindness is strength.

Why I love working with children: I love working with children because early childhood is the foundation of lifelong learning. These early years are precious and powerful, shaping how children see themselves and the world around them. Children are naturally curious and capable. They absorb experiences, language and relationships from everything around them. It is a privilege to nurture that curiosity, to provide rich experiences, and to walk alongside them as they grow, explore and make sense of their world. Being part of those first discoveries, questions and connections is both an honour and a responsibility I hold deeply.

Years of Experience: I have 5 years of experience in early childhood education.  

Qualifications & Training: I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education from South Korea, where I completed four years of university study and worked as a Lead Early Childhood Teacher. My qualification has also been assessed by ACECQA as equivalent to an Australian Diploma level.  

What I Would Like Children to Learn From Me: I believe children learn not only from what we teach, but more importantly, from how we treat others and the example we set every day. I strive to be a warm, caring and compassionate educator who leads with love, kindness and respect. I want every child to feel genuinely heard, valued and understood, knowing that their feelings and voices matter. Through meaningful relationships and positive role modelling, I hope to inspire children to express their emotions confidently, show empathy towards others and develop a strong sense of self-worth.  

Why I Love Working With Children: What I love most about working with children is building genuine connections and being part of their individual journeys. There is something truly special about watching children grow in confidence, learn to express their feelings and develop meaningful relationships with others. I find joy in the smallest moments of their growth and believe that making children feel loved, safe and supported is one of the most meaningful things I can do as an educator.
