I started working at Campus Creche in 1995. I grew up locally and I have three sons, all of whom have enjoyed their early childhood journey through Campus Creche.

Providing a place where aroha and manaaki can help tamariki to thrive in their uniqueness is very important to me. Tamariki come to us as a taonga of their whaanau, tupuna, hapu and iwi and should be supported to be who they were destined to be.

Leona
Head Kaiako of Whekii

I started working at Campus Creche in 2001. I am originally from the Czech Republic, and I have been living in Hamilton since 2000. I have a strong passion for nurturing infants and toddlers.

I believe teaching from the heart encourages strong relationships with tamariki and whaanau, giving tamariki a sense of belonging to feel safe and loved. Outside teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, travelling, skiing, going to the beach and practising yoga. I speak English and Czech.

Priscilla
Head Kaiako of Koowhai

I started at Campus Creche in 2014. I grew up in Kirikiriroa/Hamilton, but whakapapa to Kawhia, where I spent lots of time as a tamaiti. I have four tamariki of my own and I enjoy road trips with my whaanau, waka ama, and sports and I am on the Board of Trustees at my children’s school. I speak English and te reo Maaori.

I started at Campus Creche in 2021. I grew up in Taranaki, although whakapapa to the north. I am an amateur and professional boxer when I am not teaching. I speak English and understand te reo Maaori well, but I wouldn’t call myself fluent.

Kia ora e te whaanau. Ko Rebekah toku ingoa. I started working at Campus Creche in 2023. I am very excited to be joining the Campus Creche whaanau in ruma Kauri. I have lived in Kirikiriroa most of my life and currently live on the outskirts with my husband, two children and fur babies

Kate

I started working at Creche in 2016. I grew up in South Auckland and moved to Cambridge in 2014. Spending time with my family is important to me, and when I am not travelling to visit family and friends, I am at home enjoying my garden. I speak English and some te reo Maaori.

Debbie

I started working at Campus Creche in 2021. I grew up in Hamilton and spent seven years living in Perth in my 20s.
I manage, allocate and monitor financial resources to help CCT ensure transparency, compliance, effectiveness, and accountability. Specifically, this is performed through processing fee payments, managing debtors/creditors, bank and other associated fiscal reconciliations, completing payroll responsibilities and generally fulfilling financial compliance/reporting responsibilities.

I love to spend time with my family, dogs and going camping.
