Wetherby House Montessori Kensal Village

Kim completed her Bachelor of Arts in Education Studies in the year 2020. Thereafter, an opportunity came from Wetherby House Montessori, where she was given the chance to work with children in their early years as she became part of the team, ‘a family’, with a common goal of safeguarding and nurturing the children.

Kim started from being a Nursery Practitioner to being the preschool room leader, and now the Nursery Manager.

Working in a Nursery that utilises the Montessori curriculum opened the door for her to explore the meaning behind this and discover her passion for ensuring that young children will flourish to become independent and have the school-readiness before flying and exploring the world. She has learnt that working in Early Years means more than just nurturing them. But it is about getting to know each one of them, as every child is unique, exploring and understanding the appropriate approach given to each one of them.

The most rewarding aspect of being an educator in Wetherby is when parents drop their child off in the morning and share stories of how their child goes home with exciting stories as they share their discoveries at the Nursery before bedtime.
