Natasha
Hi, my name is Natasha and I have worked in the Early Childhood Industry since 2016, teaching children and also lecturing for a University in Dublin, Ireland, to inspire the next generation of teachers.
Like many of the children attending Indigo, I also started my education journey attending a Montessori school when I was four years old. I believe that this formed the basis for my future study.
I am a fully qualified Montessori Teacher holding a Diploma in Early Childhood Care and Education, a Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood Studies and a Master’s in Early Childhood Studies.
I firmly believe that early year’s education lays the foundation for a child’s life-long learning journey. I am passionate about supporting children to grow, develop and learn in a fun and meaningful way.
Our Centre
Our centre has two rooms:
The Pre-Montessori room which caters for ages from 18months to 3 years of age.
The Children’s House room which caters for children from the ages of 3-5 years of age.
Our outdoor area wraps around the back of our building and provides a large natural play space for both age groups.
We like to mix the age groups together outside as we believe that children can scaffold their learning from each other. It is also a great way for siblings from both rooms to spend some time together during the day.
Outside you will also find our centre pets. Our Chickens are apart of the Montessori family and the children love to run alongside them in our garden, take care of them and collect their eggs. Sustainability and respect for our environment is a big part of our center’s beliefs.
The idea of “Reduce, Reuse and Recycling” can be seen throughout our centre and our daily routines.
Our very own greenhouse outside is a great way to teach the children about agriculture, growth, foods, healthy living, fitness and nutrition.
We have our own centre cook onsite, who provide us with healthy, nutritional meals. Our menu is additive and preservative aware, and we can also cater to specific dietary requirements.
