My name is James, I am the teacher aide/student teacher working at John Street Kindergarten in Waimate. I am currently working through my Bachelor of Teaching in Early Childhood Education. I am working through the second year of my degree, as well as working daily within the team at John Street. I enjoy my working time at John Street, as the kaiako, tamariki, and whanau all work together to benefit the education of the tamariki within a happy family feel environment. Our head teacher Kristy, general manager Terina, and our Board are all very supportive of us all, and all the work that goes on behind the scenes, makes John Street Kindergarten the best centre for your tamaiti, and we look forward to welcoming you to our centre very soon. Take care. James.
