Gina Castle (AKA The artist)
I'm an ECT having worked in Early Childhood Education for over 20yrs, including 8yrs as a Director and Casual Teacher in Primary Schools. I also spent an additional 4.5 years as a Child Protection Caseworker in DOCS.
In Early Childhood my purpose is to guide, inspire, introduce and nurture children so they love to learn and try new things. Relationships and respect with children, parents and co-teachers is important to me.
Connections with nature and our community is just as relevant as academic/"preschool" learning.
I am passionate about music, literacy/storytelling and art.
The things that bring me joy in Early Childhood are:
- creating beautiful, well resourced spaces (influenced be Reggio Emilia settings and philosophy)
- music and art in EC
- literacy in EC
- learn to rest and find peace.
