TESSA FLOWERS-MORRELL

Tessa is from Hawkes Bay and has been in the childcare industry for over 15 years, mainly in OSCAR, ECE and programme facilitation in schools. Tessa has 4 wonderful children, who motivated her to begin her career in Childcare. She wanted to create a unique space where her children could be a part of her everyday world, a safe place for them to grow their minds, imagination, confidence and realise their potential. Tessa believes every child should be given these simple opportunities in life and understands the importance of having educators as passionate as we are teaching our kids.

While there, she explored her passions and earned her Bachelor of Teaching in ECE going on to expand her educational expertise with the NZ Certificate in Tikanga - Te Kunenga o Te Ao Tikanga (Matauranga Maori) L4. Returning to her roots in sunny Hawkes Bay, Te Paea, now a mother of four, is committed to grounding her family and fostering great connections to their whakapapa. Te Paea also imparts her knowledge as a part-time teacher, specializing in one-on-one support for children, drawing from her rich experience in behaviour management and working with students from challenging backgrounds.
