Kia ora, my name is Tara-Lee Mooney, and I am a full time kaiako here at IMPACT.
I have been teaching young tamariki for almost ten years, going from nannying to studying and working in ECE. To say it is my passion is an understatement – It brings me so much joy to spend all day learning alongside your tamariki, teaching them the skills they need to flourish within society and watching them grow into beautiful humans.
I particularly love teaching your tamariki all about the outdoors and sustainability, and it is rewarding for me to see them caring for our people and our environment. Whanaungatanga is a strong value for me professionally and personally as I know that the relationships we have help us to grow confident in who we are as individuals and let this shine through every day!
I live with my partner and our kuri Benny and ngeru Lenni. In my spare time I love to spend it reading, at the beach, walking my kuri, getting out of town to somewhere new, spending time with family and friends and of course baking sweet treats and sharing them!
I look forward to welcoming you and your tamariki here at IMPACT and beginning the journey you will never forget.
