Principal

It is a blessing to know I can make a difference in all these children’s lives and even more rewarding to witness daily interactions and conversations between the kiddies. Its and inspiration to watch my teachers be passionate and enthusiastic in their daily routines, and see how much love they have for these little ones. God is the center of my life, I value his daily teachings and try to demonstrate it in all I do.

She is dedicated, committed and loyal and gives her best in the office and on the playground. Not only does she support our team but loves and cares for each child who steps foot into our school.

I really enjoy working with children. They bring joy and happiness to all of life’s obstacles.

To be able to love and care for each little person all while teaching their little minds to grow and learn is the most amazing feeling. One of my favourite feelings!

Seal Class Assistant

I have a real passion for working with young children. I enjoy helping them learn new things and watching them grow and develop each day. I believe the early years of a child’s life are very important, and I love being part of helping children build a strong foundation for their future learning.

I aim to create a safe, caring, and happy environment where children feel supported and encouraged. It is important to me that every child feels comfortable to play, learn, explore, and be themselves.

Seahorse Class Teacher | 2 – 3 year olds

I enjoy seeing how my children grow from strength to strength. It makes me so proud to see them reaching their milestones. Teaching my kiddies how to have fun and enjoying the activities that have been set out for them each day, is an important aspect for me. In the Seahorse class we are a big happy family, with God as our center. Here we Play and learn but most of all we love!

Seahorse Class Assistant

My job is so special and unique. I love working with little children. Kids are the most honest, caring and loving. Children are so cute, from their faces, little feet, little hands and their big loving hearts. My favourite thing about working with the kids is the look in their eyes and tone of their voices when they ask the question ‘’WHY?’’

Fish Class Teacher | 3 – 4 year olds

I am a devoted teacher with 27 years of experience, passionate about nurturing children and developing young minds. Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to creating a positive, engaging environment where children can grow, learn, and discover their potential. Being a mother to three wonderful children of my own has further deepened my love for working with young learners and supporting their growth both academically and emotionally.

Fish Class Assistant

It is so rewarding when we see how our children achieve and complete difficult tasks each day, it makes me so happy.

I love hearing them call “aunty b, aunty b”, it makes me feel so loved. I always try and tell them that they are beautiful and clever.

Dolphin Class Teacher | 4 – 5 year olds

I thoroughly enjoy coming up with new ideas to keep the children curious at all times. Their little minds are so inquiring and so willing to learn. I encourage my children to always try and never to say “I CAN’T”. I want my children to keep trying until they CAN! I love making them laugh and try to always stay calm.

Dolphin Class Assistant

I enjoy watching the children develop and grow, especially in their art activities and movement.

I always try to show them love no matter what and try to teach them to communicate with each other and to put Christ first, above all else.

Junior Afternoon Supervisor

I find it fascinating to see the growth of all our little ones as each day passes. Nothing is more rewarding than a goodbye hug in the afternoon and being able to tell Mom’s and Dad’s, how much they enjoyed their afternoon here at school. My favourite part is seeing their smiles and hearing the laughter.

Housekeeping and Chef

Annie manages and facilitates all catering at our school. She makes the most delicious meals for our children jam packed with TLC. She still manages to slip out of the kitchen to assist on the playground by sharing her hugs and warmth to all our little kiddies. Annie, our longest serving staff member, has been instrumental in helping our school grow and supports us all with her shining initiative and obedience, in all that she does.

General Cleaning and Assistant Chef

I am so grateful to be in this environment where I get to see the children grow up, learn and explore. They are all so different and loving in their own special way. I have learned a lot in my time here at Little Village. I know one day I am going to be a super mom to my kids, because of all the wonderful things each child has taught me.

General Maintenance and Gardens

I enjoy making the school look neat and pretty for all the children and their parents. It is a privilege to come to work each day and see the kids happy and playing. I always get lots of special high fives which make my day. The kids have taught me so much and even how to speak the English language better. I am grateful to God for my job here.
