Meet Our Kaiako

John and Olivia took over Ellerton Preschool in 2021 after a decade of ECE experience as a teacher and management staff. With wide range of experiences from family owned to corporate centres, John and Olivia finally rooted at Ellerton Preschool with strong belief that they will be able to provide a learning focused environment where children can explore their potential to its fullest. John is a qualified Early Childhood Teacher with a Bachelors degree in Education from the University of Auckland and hold full teacher registration. Olivia has graduated from University of California, Berkeley with a Bachelors degree in Political Science with a background in law and accounting, joining John in the operations of the centre.

At Ellerton Preschool, relationships are at the heart of our teaching practice. We have a team of highly motivated, dedicated and experienced teachers. It is the teacher’s role to organise a stimulating and interesting learning environment and provide a caring, nurturing and supportive environment for children to learn and grow.

We place real importance on having a high number of teachers, above the recommendations from the Ministry of Education to allow for the highest supervision levels as well as enabling teachers to provide high quality learning and experiences for the children.
