Kia Ora everyone,

My name is Judith, I am married to my husband Luke and we have three wonderful children Samantha, Harry and Ana-Mieke. We live in Wayby just out of Wellsford on my in-laws farm. We have a few cows and calves, chickens, ducks, pig, dog and cat. We enjoy spending time on the farm, camping and taking the boat out fishing.

Working with children has been my passion since I was young, and began teaching in 1998, but took a few years break to have my 2 older children and joined my husband milking cows for a short time before returning to early childhood. I finished my Bachelor of Education in Early Childhood and recently completed by Teacher Registration.

I believe in building respectful and reciprocal relationships with the tamariki and their whānau and working to support and guide them in their growth and development, instilling that love of learning for now and the future. We have a great team of teachers at Wellsford Preschool to provide the best learning experiences and opportunities for your tamarki in providing a fun, safe, caring and interesting learning environment and in creating fond childhood memories for them to cherish.
