Pauline
Nursery Assistant
I am delighted to have the opportunity to join Little Sparrows in 2024. I have always taken a personal interest in Psychology, Neuroscience and Well-being and I will soon begin to study for my Level 3 qualification in Childcare.
I feel it’s important to recognize and support the uniqueness and spirt of each child. I advocate a holistic and intuitive approach to child development and learning. Facilitating self-agency, during their daily activities, through creative, imaginative and physically active play.
It’s an absolute privilege and a pleasure spending time with the children.
‘Children are our greatest teachers’ - I learn from them every day!
