About me:
Hello Everyone,
My name is Maria, the lead educator of the Tree of Learning Montessori Family day Care and I am a mother of two incredible daughters.
I grew up in Athens, Greece. I came to Australia to study Child Care and I have been in the sector for 11 years. I am exactly where I need to be! I am so passionate about children’s health, wellbeing and development. I constantly read and learn new information about children’s emotions and neuroscience. I want to make it my mission to offer gentle parenting/educating and attachment based relationships to every child I meet. I have purposely set up a learning environment which allows the children to explore both indoors and outdoors freely. I wish to provide ample of time and space for the children to explore a natural environment, where they can just be, interact with other children, a loving educator, pet chickens, a beautiful garden full of flowers, trees, vegetables and fruit. I wish to create a home away from home environment where children can be themselves, relax, play, explore, imagine, laugh, cry, take risks, learn, feel nurtured and be safe. I am looking forward to meeting my new families and building a professional, reciprocal relationship with you.
