I have been with Treetops ELC as an administrator since 2016. I am married to Tony and we have three gorgeous daughters.
Nothing makes me happier than hearing a child laugh and witnessing contentment in both parents and children coming and going from our Centre. I am privileged to be a part of the Treetops Whānau.
I look forward to cooking delicious, nutritious meals for the children at Treetops Botany Junction.
My name is Ve’a and I come from the beautiful tropics of Samoa. I graduated from AUT in 2015 with my Bachelors in Education and have been in the education sector for 7 years. I have been a part of Treetops Early Learning since 2017 and have loved working here ever since. I have a passion working with children and love seeing the learning that happens through our everyday interactions with the children. I have worked in the Kea room, moved over to the Tui Room and now am the kaitiaki in the Nest room.
I love our little bubbahs and giving them all cuddles and supporting them through their early stages of life. I hope that you get to experience what it is like to be a kaiako through our lenses as primary caregivers for our youngest Treetops members. It is such an amazing experience to be able to see the little moments of magic that occur throughout our day. I look forward to meeting all new families that choose to join our whānau.

Talofa and kia ora,
My name is Christina and I have been a part of our Treetops whanau since 2015 working alongside many beautiful, passionate, and nurturing teachers.
I am very passionate about working with children which is also the reason why I pursued a graduate diploma degree after completing my bachelor’s. I am extremely privileged that I have a part in supporting our Tamariki as they grow to learn and discover their own interests, abilities, and skills. Most importantly knowing that they are happy, content and are inspired to be themselves and explore.

I am Bidisa, Kea room’s head teacher at Treetops Early Learning Centre. I have been working as an early childhood teacher since 2004 and I have been a head teacher in the preschool room at this Centre for 10 years. Before coming to New Zealand I was a high school teacher back in India.
I came to New Zealand with my husband and two young children in 2003. At present I live in Papakura. I enjoy reading books, listening to music, watching movies and cooking. Since my childhood I have had a passion to be a teacher and I have happily been pursuing my dream job for the last 20 years! Becoming an early childhood teacher is one of the most significant ‘happenings’ in my life and career as I became the facilitator of the future scientists, artists, innovators, scholars, dancers, singers, doctors, engineers or environmentalists. I work alongside the future generation who will contribute to make this world more happy, livable and friendly. I love discovering these potential personalities of the future and I hope that I make a little contribution to make it a reality here at Treetops Early Learning Centre.
