Kia ora, my name is Katherine Batty and I am a qualified early childhood teacher offering home-based education in Tahunanui.
Having worked in the industry for many years, I am highly experienced with children aged 0 – 12 years.
Children are my passion and they inspire me, from my own daughters to each and every child I meet. I believe that children learn through doing, making a mess, trial and error and leading their own learning. I enjoy taking the time to observe a child’s interest and provide opportunities for them to extend their understanding of the wider world through play, experimentation and new experiences.
I offer a full and exciting programme, which includes weekly gym, music and nature play sessions. I am passionate about early childhood education and strive to ensure I provide an environment where children are valued, respected and have the time and space to be children all the while learning valuable life skills.
We attend weekly activities within the community, including gymnastics, music and playgroups. I also organise trips based around the children's current interests. These often include beach trips, visits to the airport and natureland.
Feel free to contact me via Sarah Blake at Little Red Fox ECE. I look forward to meeting you and your children.

Hi my name is Melanie Johnson and I am located in Stoke, I love home based care and fully believe this gives your child the best nurturing start to education and care.
My home is a loving and caring environment where we do everyday activities indoors and outdoors. We have weekly programs in our community where we can go swimming, to gymnastics and a music programme.
I believe in learning through play, taking the time to find out what your child is passionate about and extending on these interests. I have been in the education industry for a long time and was previously a nanny educator before making the move to provide a unique, positive home-based education care program.

 Hi my name is Melany, I am a mother of 3 beautiful children and come from the Philippines. I originally trained and taught as a secondary teacher before moving to New Zealand and have 13 years experience in education. I love being able to support parents /families and their children in the growth and development of their learning.  Under Little Red Fox I am able to take the children to weekly activities such as Swimming, music programs, dance programs, play groups and much more through our calendar of events and weekly activities. I am located in Blenheim with a large front and back yard and provide child care on Monday, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

My name is Claire and I have been an In-home Educator for the last 8 years, I have my Level 3 in early childhood education and I am associated with Little Red Fox Early Childhood Education (ECE), a Nelson based company under the successful management of Bethany Fox. I'm 12 km up Eighty Eight Valley Road in Wakefield providing a healthy rural care environment in our family home which I share with my husband and 2 school aged boys. We also have a large orchard/vegie garden for raiding, chickens to feed and collect eggs from and pet sheep to get to know. Children learn so much from exploring at their own pace in a supervised, safe environment. We also head out into the community for activities a few times a week.
Due to being rural, I offer a free pick up service at the start of each day from 8.15 until 8.45am.
If I can help by looking after your little fox cub, contact Sarah Blake via Little Red Fox ECE.

My name is Sophie Carrick, and I have been given an amazing opportunity to offer Home-based care in Blenheim, with Little Red Fox ECE. I have 2 children of my own, Koda (7) and Lillie (3), both of whom have attended / are attending Home-based care which sparked my passion for Early Childhood Education. Whilst working my dream job as a Home-based educator I am also working towards my Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education on a part time basis out of work hours. In my home we promote individuality, exploration play and sensory learning – all of which are crucial for brain development and are also a heap of fun! We also are very community orientated and attend playgroups, music groups and swimming excursions with the other Little Red Fox families on a regular basis, so you can be assured that your children are getting the most out of their day. I look forward to hearing from you and your little one!
