Kaiako (teachers)

10 Apr

Kaiako (teachers) are integral to our kindergarten. Knowing a little more about who it is that you entrust your tamariki with is important. You’ll find articles on each of our team in a little more depth, on our blog, and here’s an introduction to how our kaiako work as a team.

We have four kaiako who work on a rotational basis within our kindergarten. At any given time, you will find three kaiako working in the kindergarten, whilst another kaiako is embarking on professional development, non contact time, documenting the journey of our kindergarten tamariki or on a holiday for replenishment. Typically each kaiako will work for 9 weeks in the kindergarten, followed by 3 weeks outside the daily rhythm. The health and well being of kaiako is vital to the well being of the kindergarten. We honour this by giving kaiako the time and space to reflect on their practice, undertake professional development and an essential period of rest and relaxation.

All of our teaching team are either fully or provisionally registered ECE teachers. Fenella holds a Diploma in NZ Steiner ECE. Retha has the Certificate in Rudolf Steiner ECE and has embarked on completing her Diploma to be completed this year. Traceylee holds the Certificate in Rudolf Steiner ECE. Laurie and Melissa have begun their Diploma in Rudolf Steiner ECE, this is a three year journey for a teacher.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project. Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth. And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
