Nandip Kaur Sagoo

I am a passionate and nurturing graduate Early Childhood Teacher with a strong focus on kindergarten education. I bring a warm, child-centred approach and a solid understanding of the EYLF and WA Kindergarten Curriculum Guidelines to support children’s learning, wellbeing, and successful transition to school.

I believe every child is capable, curious, and unique. I create engaging, play-based learning environments where children feel safe, valued, and confident to explore, communicate, and develop independence. My teaching practice reflects intentional teaching, inclusive education, and strong relationship-building with children and families.

As a graduate teacher, I bring up-to-date knowledge, enthusiasm, and strong foundational skills. I am confident in planning and implementing developmentally appropriate kindergarten programs aligned with the EYLF and WA Kindergarten Guidelines, conducting observations, writing learning stories, and reflecting on practice to continuously improve outcomes for children.

I am known for being reliable, calm, and caring, with a strong work ethic and a genuine passion for early childhood education. I value teamwork and collaboration and enjoy contributing positively to a supportive learning environment.

I am now seeking an opportunity in a quality early learning service where I can continue to grow professionally, contribute my skills, and make a meaningful difference in children’s early learning journeys.
