Hi I’m Bella.
I’ve been an Early Childhood Educator for 6 years. I’m passionate about building strong relationships with children, families and
colleagues and being a clear and open communicator.

Miss. Hannah

Hello everyone, my name is Hannah, an IT and ECE teacher. Nice to meet you. I enjoy being with children.  Children are cute and innocent, being with them makes me feel happy. 

I  believe play is integral to well-being and learning. As children play, they explore the world, and this learning is based on their understanding of the natural and social environment around them. Learning from play means that educators motivate children to take the initiative to learn through a fun and interactive environment. Learning from play means that educators motivate children to take the initiative to learn through a fun and interactive environment. Learning based on play is an important way for children to develop independent learning. 

I love music and I  believe it is a great way of expression, so I always ensure to add it into my plan. I enjoy singing and dancing with children. 

I am  looking forward to meeting you here!

At the center, I wholeheartedly engage in weekly art activities, introducing a new theme each time to ensure children experience a variety of enjoyable and enriching moments. I strive to help them explore their limitless potential and expressive abilities. Additionally, through close interaction and careful observation, I support each child's cognitive and social development, doing my best to create a safe and happy environment.

Furthermore, to earn complete trust from parents, I maintain a high level of professionalism in all aspects and ensure clear and thoughtful communication so they can feel reassured that their children are receiving love and care.

I also enjoy playing the piano and have a deep love for music. Since I am passionate about musical activities, I actively engage children in music-based experiences, encouraging them to express their innate energy through movement and rhythm.
