Dear Parents,
My name is Ms. Melanie and I am originally from South Africa. I moved to the Middle East 9 years ago and then to Dubai, after meeting my husband. After moving to Dubai I discovered a true passion for teaching and being part of a child’s learning development and decided to make the leap to become an Early Years Educator.
I gained experience in Dubai as a lead nursery teacher, during a three-year period at a British Nursery in Mirdif, focusing on 2-3 year old’s. As a teacher, I have been continuously tested, challenged and I have also had some amazing achievements, all of which have individually contributed to my ongoing development as an early learner’s educator.
I am also a mother and my daughter will be joining me at StepUp Nursery. She has been a constant inspiration in my journey to becoming a better educator, and has reinforced my commitment to gaining deeper knowledge and approach to the early years of childhood development. As parents we want the best for our children and I am looking forward to being a positive influence in your children’s lives.
Living in Dubai has allowed me to work and teach within a variety of different cultures, gaining a better understanding of different backgrounds and has enabled me to apply a personalized approach to each individual child.
I cannot wait to be part of your children’s learning journey this year!
