From the Tugboats Preschool
My interest has always been taking care of kids and giving them a dynamic environment where they can flourish. I have spent the last 15 years working in the early years sector of childcare and education, having entered the industry right out of high school. I previously held positions as a registered nanny, room leader, and deputy head. After spending the preceding 9 years assisting with the management of a nursery, I decided to go out on my own, giving rise to the Tugboats Preschool, which officially opened its doors last year.
