Kia ora, ko Angela Ross tōku ingoa, ko te kaiwhakahaere o kōhungahunga Phoenix au. My name is Angela Ross and I am in the role of Centre Manager. Phoenix Preschool has been like my second home and my second whānau for over 10yrs.
I started my preschool education with Playcentre in Methven and soon discovered a passion for early years teaching and learning. I place a high value on responsive and reciprocal relationships with tamariki, their whānau and also within our team and I feel this is something that Phoenix Preschool does exceptionally well.
Outside of mahi, I enjoy spending time with my whānau – husband Donald, daughter Ciara and son Donnie. I love the outdoors, camping, hunting, fishing, and gardening. I love taking our dogs out on walks around our amazing community park in Newland. I am passionate about kaitiakitanga and caring for our natural world through being sustainable growing our own kai where possible. Indoors I enjoy the odd Netflix action flick or drama, or a heated boardgame or game of cards.
