Read Racheal’s profile below to get to know more about her!
Name: Racheal Phillips
Position: Key Teacher
Qualifications/Educational Background:
Level 3 CACHE
Experience
I have 2 Years’ of experience in a Montessori nursery, gaining experience across all age groups, and working closely with the pre-school children.
What do you love most about working with children?
Experiencing a child’s learning, it’s amazing to teach or demonstrate a skill or activity and watch a child learn, seeing them remember and obtain new skills and abilities. Maximising and challenging a child’s potential is a great way to see them grow.
What is your earliest memory as a child?
As the youngest of nine siblings, I have many memories; my earliest would be picking apples, orange and pears with my sisters outside in our garden.
Look out for our social media posts over the coming weeks to see what Rachel gets up to at nursery this month!
