Sat Sri Akaal, Kia Ora and Hello,
Warm greetings to all the Little Feet families. My name is Navneet Kaur and I came to New Zealand from India in 2016. I completed my Bachelor and Masters in English from India in 2015 and came here to gain knowledge about early childhood sector. After completing my course, I have developed a keen interest in early childhood and become passionate about contributing to the social, emotional, intellectual and physical development of young children.
I am very excited to join Little Feet Childcare team and be a part of this busy learning community. My goal as a teacher is to guide and provide children with a rich environment where they can feel safe to explore and independent to express their feelings. I appreciate all the knowledge our rising stars bring to the centre and love the way they share their knowledge with their peers and teachers.
I am looking forward to work with fabulous Little Feet family.
