TAITUUGA STEPHANIE FAIVALU
Centre Supervisor
TALOFA LAVA! I am delighted to be part of the incredible team at Taeaofou Puaseisei Preschool in Raglan. I am a fully registered teacher with a Bachelor of Pasifika Education - Early Childhood. I have over 7 years of professional experiences teaching in school setting primarily with young children. My knowledge of the Samoan language and spiritual value will enable me to be the best teacher researcher for our Tamariki as I continue to guide their learning by nurturing their curiosity, providing hypothesis, and solving problems, all of which I believe are the core foundation of the Centre Philosophy.
