Margie is a qualified early childhood educator, with certification as a Child Development

'life long learning' philosophy. She demonstrates this herself with ongoing course
development. Margie’s goal in the classroom is to facilitate the learning process
and instil a love of learning in the children. Margie ensures children experience
the delight and sense of success that daily learning provides by working directly
with them, as a partner in seeking answers to questions. She believes that every
day spent with pre-school children is a privilege and a pleasure, and that their
honesty, their acceptance of others and their ability and desire to learn new things
is what inspires her to teach.
