Meet the Teachers
Cherissa
Head Teacher | Montessori Directress | Early Childhood Educator
Hello! I’m Cherissa, a passionate Early Childhood Educator with 3 years of experience nurturing and supporting young children. Here at Daydreams & Dumbbells, I’m here every day to create a warm, joyful and nurturing space where every child feels safe, valued, loved and confident to explore and be themselves. My teaching approach is child-centred, hands-on and play-based, incorporating art and crafts, sensory play, music and movement, storytelling, outdoor exploration and meaningful discovery. I believe children learn best when they are encouraged to explore, create, ask questions and learn at their own pace. What I love most about working with children is watching their personalities unfold, celebrating their little milestones and helping them discover what they are capable of. I strive to make every learning experience engaging, purposeful and memorable. My teaching belief: Every child is capable, curious and wonderfully unique. With the right guidance, encouragement and environment, every child can shine.
