Summary
I understand the importance of GIRFEC, the Curriculum of Excellence and Realising the Ambition and my role while following the SSSC codes of practise. I enjoy creating fun and inclusive activities that encourage children to explore, learn and grow at their own pace. I have experience working with children aged 2 to 13, and I bring creativity, patience and excitement to everything I do. I take my role seriously and responsibly, while making sure learning stays fun, inclusive and engaging for every child.
