KidsCo Birkenhead Teaching Team
The Faces Your Child Will Know and Love
Experienced, passionate, and here for the long haul. Get to know the teachers who'll know your child by name from day one.

A Team That Stays
At KidsCo Birkenhead childcare, our team is our greatest asset. They're experienced, passionate, and they stay. Most early childhood centres in New Zealand see teacher turnover every couple of years. At KidsCo, the team your child meets on day one is the team they'll grow up with. That continuity is rare, and it changes everything for children.
When your child walks in on a Monday morning, they're greeted by faces they know and trust. They feel safe, so they explore. They feel known, so they grow. And as a parent, you get the reassurance of dropping off your child with someone who genuinely knows them. Find out how to enrol.
Hetvi

Hetvi brings a kind and calming energy to the room, building strong, trusting relationships that help children feel secure while encouraging their independence and curiosity. Outside of KidsCo, you'll find Hetvi embracing her favourite role of all, devoted mum and wife.
Eamon
Teacher

Adrienne's artistic talent brings a creative richness to the children's learning, from the way activities are presented to the experiences she designs. When not at KidsCo, you'll find Adrienne spending time with her family or dominating the basketball court.
Kristy
Teacher
Kristy is our warm, motherly all-rounder, jumping in wherever she's needed and weaving colour and magic into every learning activity.

When not at KidsCo, you'll find Kristy baking, making candles, and spending quality time with her two girls.
Alex
Teacher
Alex brings a steady, focused energy to KidsCo that children and colleagues alike find reassuring. Quietly spoken around adults, he comes alive with the children, bringing a creative spark to activities that keeps them engaged and delighted. He also has a sense of humour that sneaks up on you. When not at KidsCo, you'll find Alex at the gym, lifting weights like it's just another thing to tick off his to-do list.
Mary Ann
Teacher
Mary brings a kind and warm presence to everything she does, and the children in her care feel it.
