Hello! I’m Ms. Kobayashi, and I will be your child’s Reception class teacher. I have several years of experience in early years education. I am passionate about preparing every child for their future education and life by creating a safe, nurturing, and enriching learning environment. I believe that the early years are vital to a child’s learning journey, providing the foundation for success in Key Stage 1 (KS1) and beyond.
In my classroom, children learn best through exploration, collaboration, and play. They will enjoy hands-on, creative activities including, but not limited to water and sand play, nature walks, imaginative role play and story time.
These experiences help children develop social, emotional, and cognitive skills while having fun and encouraging curiosity.
Outside the classroom, I love reading, drawing, and spending time with friends. These interests often inspire the creative activities and stories I share with the class.
I am excited to work in partnership with parents and carers. Together, we will support every child, ensuring they feel confident, valued, and eager to learn. I can’t wait to be a part of your child’s educational journey at Lift Hazelwood!
