Stevie holds a B Ed Early Childhood and is a fully certified teacher. Stevie has been part of the Piwaka whānau since 2018, proudly calling the Muriwai room her home ever since. Outside of mahi, I’m a wife and a mum to my energetic two‑year‑old son, Micah, who keeps me learning, laughing, and constantly inspired.
My teaching is guided by the principles of Te Whāriki, especially whanaungatanga and creating a warm, welcoming sense of belonging. Building genuine, trusting relationships is at the heart of everything I do. I love taking the time to really get to know each child and their whānau — their stories, strengths, cultures, and aspirations so we can work together in a way that feels meaningful and empowering. Through this partnership‑focused approach, Stevie aims to uplift each child’s mana, nurture their confidence, and support them to shine in their own unique learning journey.
