✨Meet the Team✨
Bethan
Bethan is our Team Leader in the preschool. Bethan joined Creative Cubs this year and has been a fantastic addition to the centre. She is full of inspiring ideas and has built very strong reciprocal relationships with our children and whānau. She is very passionate about education and care for our preschoolers and a real advocator for all tamariki. Bethan is a big believer in ensuring our tamariki are confident and competent, and we are giving them lots of opportunities to be involved in all aspects of our daily programme.
Bethan also loves to bake and cook, so she has many great ideas for nutritious lunchbox ideas (when she’s not setting off the fire alarm!) 🌸

Donna
Donna has been with us at Creative Cubs since day one. Donna loves music and storytelling experiences, and even has her special puppets that make an appearance most days! Donna has many years of experience under her belt and is very knowledgeable in the ECE sector. Donna is great fun to be around, and loves to make up songs throughout the day for the children (and teachers!) to enjoy.
On dress up days Donna loves to get amongst it all and you will see her in amazing outfits, including a black cat, a bumble bee, and even the Wonkey Donkey!! 🌸

Sophie
Sophie started at Creative Cubs when we first opened and is our creative arts extraordinaire! She has so many talents when it comes to art and music - just what we love! Sophie is one of our preschool teachers and brings so much passion and commitment to everything she does.

✨Meet the team✨
Over the next few days, let us introduce you to our amazing kaiako here at Creative Cubs!
First up is Monique
Monique is one of our kaiako in the nursery. Monique joined us this year and has been an absolute joy to have on board. She has an amazing sense of humour and such a soft nature in caring for our smallest tamariki. Monique is fully qualified and is working towards her full teacher registration. She has developed genuine and trusting reciprocal relationships with our children and whānau, and makes sure everyone is so welcome within our centre 🌸
One of the joys of music is how it brings us together.
Our tamariki explore different instruments and discover how learning is so much fun through music!
Tapping on the drum, exploring pitch and tone on the glockenspiel, and creating sounds using the boomwhakers all offer powerful learning moments such as,
- beat and rhythm
- working alongside others
- turn taking, listening and patience
and of course finding a sense of joy that releases those feel good endorphins, making us smile and feel happy!
What a perfect way to start the day!
