Meet Our Team – Passionate ECE Teachers

Chahat

Qualified Teacher

Hi,
I’m Chahat. I am so excited to be a part of Talented Tots.

Here in the centre, you’ll often find me setting up creative provocations, getting excited about children’s imaginative play, or sitting on the floor having big conversations with little people.

I believe learning happens best when children are curious, engaged, and having fun. I’m passionate about building strong relationships with tamariki, whānau, and kaiako, and I love working collaboratively to create inspiring learning environments.

Happy to be here, and ready to spread the magic! See you soon.

Eunice

Qualified Teacher

Hi,
I’m Eunice, a qualified teacher working with our young learners in the Fantail Room. I hold a Graduate Diploma in Early Childhood Education and have recently completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Education.

I am of Malaysian Chinese descent and have been living in New Zealand since 2017. Alongside my work in education, I bring several years of experience in music teaching.

I enjoy incorporating my musical skills into the learning environment to foster creativity, engagement, and joyful experiences for all tamariki.

I believe every child deserves rich learning opportunities, alongside genuine love, care, respect, and a strong sense of belonging.

Geralyn

Qualified Teacher

Kia ora,
I’m Geralyn—most people call me Lyn. I am a qualified teacher holding a provisional practising certificate, with over 19 years of teaching experience in the Philippines.

I am passionate about nurturing each child’s potential through a safe, inclusive, and play-based environment. Aligned with Talented Tots’ philosophy, I value relationships, respect, and holistic learning, supporting tamariki to grow as confident, capable, and curious learners.

I am very excited to welcome tamariki and whānau and to be part of their learning and development.
