Kia ora. Hi I’m Ceri (Teacher) I have two children, David and Chris, and a partner Martin. I have been in Early Childhood Education for twenty years starting out at playcentre, then into childcare.

Children have so much to learn and to teach, as I do. I look forward to our journey of discovery together.
