Kia ora I’m Alia, the Centre Owner/Manager of Wonderhub Early Learning Centre. I am passionate about leading a centre that is warm, welcoming, and grounded in strong values that support the growth and wellbeing of every child.

I take pride in working alongside a dedicated team of teachers to create an environment where tamariki feel safe, valued, and inspired to learn through curiosity and play. Building strong, trusting relationships with our families is at the heart of everything I do.

My focus is on ensuring Wonderhub continues to be a place where quality care, thoughtful leadership, and a genuine sense of community come together every day

Working in Early Childhood education I believe in forming strong relationships with children, their familes and the team you are working alongside. My passion is building a strong sense of belonging for the child and their family and working together to achieve families aspirations, goals and dreams to become competent life long learners.

Kia ora my name is Jess! As Tangata Whenua, my teaching is grounded in whanaungatanga (relationships), auahatanga (creativity), pākiki (curiosity), kaitiakitanga (guardianship), and manaakitanga (kindness and care). I create inclusive, relationship-based environments where tamariki (children) feel a strong sense of belonging and are encouraged to explore with confidence. Through nature-based learning and the use of NZSL, I support tamariki to connect with their world, communicate, and grow as caring kaitiaki (guardians).

Kia ora, ko Becs tōku ingoa.

I am a fun‑loving, warm, and enthusiastic early childhood educator who believes childhood should be filled with laughter, curiosity, and plenty of adventure. I love creating a happy, welcoming home‑away‑from‑home where tamariki feel safe, confident, and excited to explore and learn. I approach children as I would my own, building strong relationships through kindness, humour, cuddles, and positive guidance.

I bring lots of energy, creativity, and imagination into each day, supporting tamariki to play, discover, and grow at their own pace. I enjoy learning alongside children and love using my Graphic Design background to create colourful, hands‑on, and imaginative experiences that spark joy and creativity. I can't wait to meet you and your tamariki!

Hi I’m Heidi, a fully qualified early childhood kaiako with over 20 years of experience, having qualified in 2000. I am passionate about supporting tamariki through their early years, creating a calm, nurturing, and respectful environment where every child feels safe, valued, and truly belongs. Seeing children grow, explore, and gain confidence is what makes my role so special.

Here at Wonderhub, building strong, trusting relationships with children and their whānau is at the heart of everything I do, and I especially enjoy supporting our youngest children as they settle in, grow, and reach their milestones at their own pace.

Being a proud parent of three incredible children gives me a deep understanding of the trust families place in us when choosing care for their child. I feel so grateful to be part of each child’s learning journey at Wonderhub, working alongside whānau, and creating a place where children are loved, celebrated, and encouraged to shine.

Kia ora! I am Shaily, I have been working in early childhood education for the past 11 years and feel truly grateful to be part of this profession. Teaching is more than a job for me, it is my passion, and I love guiding tamariki with strong values, care, and respect.

I bring creativity, warmth, and a touch of theatrical fun into my practice, helping to create joyful and engaging learning experiences at Wonderhub.

I love being a preschool teacher at Wonderhub and feel proud to be part of such a caring and connected community.

Kia Ora! My name is Nikita, I am 28 years young and I am a registered kaiako at Wonderhub Early Learning Centre. I have a keen passion for special needs education and behaviour management. I am an incredibly bubbly, out-going person and thrive in all areas of active learning. I hold a degree in professional education and majored in Primary Teaching. 

My years teaching primary aged tamariki made me feel as though there was a gap in my understanding of a child's development, this is what had led me to early childhood education. In turn over the past year I have discovered a true passion in working with babies and their whanau. I have developed a true appreciation for the trust and connection needed to be in this position, it is a privilege to support whanau in their endeavors as parents and caregivers.  Watching tamariki and pepi problem solve and use their creative intuition when exploring the world around them is one of the most full-filling joys that can be experienced.

I am so excited to share in the inspiration by providing spaces for all tamariki to thrive and grow alongside their peers and kaiako.
