About me
Little Messy Learners
Hi there, I’m Kate and I live in Worsley with my husband and two children, Will and Annable. Oh and not forgetting our little hamster, Poppy!
I am a primary school teacher with over 12 years experience in Reception and Keystage 1 and I am a huge advocate of learning through play! As a teacher, I am passionate about early childhood development and believe that children learn best when they are getting hands on experience and having fun!
I cannot wait to deliver my Little Learners programme to you, it is educationally ‘on point’ and full of fun! Follow me on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram to know when you can book onto my upcoming classes.
These classes are so well organised and executed. Caitlin & her team are amazing in engaging with the kids and providing new and unique ways to develop their skills through sensory play. Nellie Hall is the perfect venue too! I’m so glad we took a chance on this new program in Canberra.
We love messy play days! Our one and three year old have a ball each session and the themes are very exciting and well thought out. Would definitely recommend.
