Kia ora, Ni hao, my name is Emily and I'm excited to be working here at Flying Kiwi Preschool. I am originally from China and moved to New Zealand in 2015.

Kia Ora, my name is Rachel (Yikyung) Park and I am from South Korea.
I am a qualified ECE kaiako (educator).
I love getting to know my akonga (students) and see their interests/passions shine through. I love working with tamariki (children) and I believe they are capable of doing things for themselves.
I love singing songs and reading books with children. I also like baking and trying some new recipes.

Georgina Jiao
Teacher
Kia ora,
My name is Menghan Jiao, and everyone calls me Georgina. I come from China so I can speak English and Mandarin. I successfully finished my master’s degree in the UK and my bachelor’s degree in China, and I used to work in both countries for 5 years. Now I am a teacher in training, and I am very interested in working with children because they always bring joy to my life. Also, my hobby is drawing, as I used to study design at university. I am very delighted to join Flying Kiwi Preschool this lovely place to start with it and I cannot wait to get to know everyone here.
