Our People

Anne Valeli, Centre Manager
How long have you been involved in early childhood?
I’ve been teaching for over 20 years – in fact I’ve taught children that are now teachers themselves! We plant the seeds that get children ready for the next phase of their learning journey – going off to primary school. We give them confidence and build their capabilities, so they are able to conquer this world and be proud of who they are.

Emalata Scott-Pritchard, Fantail Team Leader and Assistant Manager
Malo e lelei, my name is Emalata and I am Tongan. I have two gorgeous girls named Faith and Peyton. I come from a typical big Tongan family and I was fortunate enough to follow other family members into a career in education. My late grandfather was a teacher, my late aunt was a teacher, my mum is a teacher and now, my sister and I are both teachers. I have eight years of experience within ECE, and still counting! I love being a teacher and enjoy the fact that I am always learning alongside our tamariki. I have an open door policy, so please haere mai and let’s chat about the future of your child.
