We focus on multicultural education and celebrate many festivals from around the world with our children as much as possible.
At Red Apple, they have a huge focus on children learning more about the world around them, including learning more about their local communities. One way they do this is through many incursions and excursions.

I like to encourage the children to participate in scientific experiments, which provide the children with a more hands on experience.
I also like to sing and dance with the children. I believe music helps children feel comfortable and more settled. Plus, it can be a lot of fun moving and dancing around to music.

I like to spend time with children and I appreciate and admire their innocence.
5. What are your interests outside of the early learning centre? Do you bring any of that into how you teach the children?
I like Chinese culture; I like reading and music. I enjoy sharing my knowledge about Chinese culture through music and celebrating Festivals.
