Hi, I’m Tammy,

Working as an Early Childhood Educator is one of the greatest joys in my life. I believe the early years of a child’s life, is when they grow and learn the most. Being a part of their development and learning is so exciting!

Every day at our Hallam kindergarten is different, seeing their curiosity of the world around them as they develop their own independence and navigating their way through! Every day I get to see the world through their eyes, how amazing life can be!
