Kia Ora, my name is Emma Sands and I am a Qualified and fully registered ECE Teacher, the Head Teacher in the Koru room and also the Assistant Manager at Little Minds.

I grew up in Te Kuiti, moving out of home with Scott when I was 19. We have called Te Awamutu home for the past 13 years and we have three children, Ryan, Brooke and Chloe.

I have become a bit of a runner and recently completed my second half marathon.

I have an absolute passion for working with the under two's age group, I love nothing more than to be a part of them reaching milestones, both big and small. The pride and happiness they show is like no other.
