Odette, home-based educator in New Plymouth, with children

Odette

Hi, my name is Odette, and I live with my partner, Mark and our furry companions (cats). I have six wonderful children of my own who have all grown up, left home, and are following their dreams. Some of them have had children of their own, giving me eight awesome grandchildren. I have been involved in early childhood education for 28 years, both in-home and in centres. Children learn best in a safe, caring environment that allows them to learn and explore at their own pace, with gentle encouragement from a supportive and caring adult. I offer a fantastic outdoor area, as well as an ample indoor space that allows children to freely explore, along with excellent resources that cater to a range of ages. We attend kindy gym and playgroup on a rotating fortnightly basis, along with playdates with other educators. We regularly explore the numerous community places available in our wonderful city, including the library, zoo, and various parks and attractions. I would love for you to visit and explore everything I have to offer, discussing your child's learning needs and aspirations.
