Kia Ora, I’m Sanam, a kaiako at PlayPods Childcare. With a blend of Fijian-Indian heritage and Kiwi upbringing, my cultural richness, compassion, and a love for learning. At home, alongside my husband and Frankie, my cherished cat, family is a priority. I find joy in socialising and downtime involves my love for reading, shaping both my personal life and teaching philosophy. Committed to creating a nurturing environment, my goal at Waiuku Learning Space is to foster the flourishing of young minds.

Committed to continual learning and dedicated to each child’s development, I strive to be an invaluable asset to our team, aiming to make a meaningful impact in every child’s educational journey.
