Tatiana Watene - Visiting Teacher

I’ve been working in Early Childhood Education for over ten years, including five years as a Head Teacher. In that time, I’ve developed a real passion for working in multi-age environments. I love seeing tamariki of different ages learn from one another, older children developing leadership and empathy, while younger ones gain confidence and new skills through observation and interaction.

I believe strong, genuine relationships are at the heart of quality early learning. I’m committed to building meaningful partnerships with both educators and families. My role is to walk alongside you—offering guidance, encouragement, and practical support to help create nurturing environments that reflect each child’s individuality.

I enjoy spending quality time with my partner and family, exploring the beautiful outdoors of Aotearoa, and experiencing new places and cultures through travel.

I look forward to getting to know you, and supporting you on your journey.
