Hi, my name is Yifan. I am originally from China. I moved to New Zealand with my husband Tony in January 2018.

 I have worked at Tree Bears since January 2022 after completing my Master of Teaching and Learning (Primary) in New Zealand, I have a daughter Elena who attends Tree Bears.

Before moving to New Zealand, I worked with young children for 3 years.  I am dedicated to creating a secure, challenging environment that is flexible engaging, and fosters potential. I look forward to working alongside families and children so children can reach their full potential.

Preschool Teacher

 

My name is Tony. I moved to Hanmer Springs in 2022 with my wife, Yifan. I previously worked in Christchurch at an Early Childhood Centre.

I have completed my level 5 in Early Childhood papers. Here in New Zealand.

 While I lived in China, I also worked in Early Childhood and before that, I helped build rocket ships!

 

I believe that the children should always come first and that we must listen to the child and take their lead on their learning journey.

 

I am a huge believer that learning should be fun and inviting for all.
