I am a mother of one and have a true affection for children.  Being the first point of contact as you enter Bear Park Mairangi Bay, I pride myself on creating a warm and inviting atmosphere where I have the privilege of building relationships with all the children and their families.

Sonya Rigby
Moa Room – Supervisor

I have been working in ECE since 1996 and finished my Diploma in 2001.  I have worked with children of all ages and love the challenge and rewarding environment of the Moa Room.  I believe that Centre life should be an extension of home and highly value Whanau involvement and building warm relationships through ongoing communication.  I am also committed to ensuring that the children’s journey is valued and meaningful.
