Kia ora whanau!

My name is Vanessa and I am thrilled to be the Centre Manager here at Wonder Kids Masterton!

With a Bachelor of Teaching (ECE) and 17 years of experience working as a nanny, teacher and home-based educator, I am deeply committed to nurturing young minds, fostering a love of learning, and helping to create a supportive and enriching environment for both our Kaiako and Tamariki alike.

I believe that fostering strong, supportive relationships between Tamariki, Kaiako, parents, and whanau is crucial. By prioritising these relationships, we build a community that supports and enriches Tamariki growth, setting a solid foundation for their lifelong learning journey. How exciting and rewarding to be a part of something so great and so important!
When I am not here embracing my love for early childhood education and working alongside a fabulous, nurturing team of professionals, you will find me enjoying photography, motorsports, exploring beaches and spending time with family and friends.
