Meet our Centre Manager

Kia ora

My names Michelle and I am the centre manager here at Lollipops Waiuku.

I’ve been in early childhood for 15 years and counting. I started studying in 2010 and qualified in 2013 with a degree in Early childhood education. I started working for Lollipops Waiuku in 2023 and have enjoyed every moment getting to know the families and team within the centre.

I’m a mum to 3 beautiful boys when I am out of centre who all keep me busy in their own individual ways. I enjoy sports in the weekends, including rugby and netball. But mostly I enjoy the time I spend with my family, with almost 8 nieces and nephews who have mostly been through centres with me my passion is strong for early childhood. I thrive in watching children develop through infancy to the preschool years to graduate and start in primary school.
