Why do I want to work with children? Children have always been a part of my life. I want to work with children because of their unpredictability. I am motivated by their natural curiosity and questions. I believe in creating an environment where children can reach their fullest potential through play and learning. What is the best part of working at Saplings? The best part of working at Saplings is the team. They are respectful, inclusive and believe in working in partnership with families to support their children. The Team supports the wellbeing of children, families and each other.

'm excited to be joining the Saplings Outdoor Program and becoming part of a community that values nature, exploration, and meaningful connections. As an Early Childhood Educator, I'm passionate about creating nurturing experiences that encourage children's curiosity, confidence, and independence. I look forward to building relationships with the children and supporting their learning and growth through outdoor play and exploration.
