I started working at Campus Creche in 1995. I grew up locally and I have three sons, all of whom have enjoyed their early childhood journey through Campus Creche.
Providing a place where aroha and manaaki can help tamariki to thrive in their uniqueness is very important to me. Tamariki come to us as a taonga of their whaanau, tupuna, hapu and iwi and should be supported to be who they were destined to be.
Leona
Head Kaiako of Whekii
I started working at Campus Creche in 2001. I am originally from the Czech Republic, and I have been living in Hamilton since 2000. I have a strong passion for nurturing infants and toddlers.
I believe teaching from the heart encourages strong relationships with tamariki and whaanau, giving tamariki a sense of belonging to feel safe and loved. Outside teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, travelling, skiing, going to the beach and practising yoga. I speak English and Czech.
Priscilla
Head Kaiako of Koowhai
I started at Campus Creche in 2014. I grew up in Kirikiriroa/Hamilton, but whakapapa to Kawhia, where I spent lots of time as a tamaiti. I have four tamariki of my own and I enjoy road trips with my whaanau, waka ama, and sports and I am on the Board of Trustees at my children’s school. I speak English and te reo Maaori.

I started at Campus Creche in 2021. I grew up in Taranaki, although whakapapa to the north. I am an amateur and professional boxer when I am not teaching. I speak English and understand te reo Maaori well, but I wouldn’t call myself fluent.
Mel

I started working at Campus Creche in 2011. I grew up in the Wairarapa, living in Masterton with my whaanau, going to school and enjoying playing hockey. I moved to Hamilton in 2003, married and raised my children here. I enjoy walking my dogs, reading, and going to the gym in my spare time. I speak English and some te reo Maaori.

I manage, allocate and monitor financial resources to help CCT ensure transparency, compliance, effectiveness, and accountability. Specifically, this is performed through processing fee payments, managing debtors/creditors, bank and other associated fiscal reconciliations, completing payroll responsibilities and generally fulfilling financial compliance/reporting responsibilities.

I love to spend time with my family, dogs and going camping.
