Emma Panzenbock
Educator
Educator
My name is Emma Panzenbock and I am a current Educator at Ingham Early Learning Centre. I have recently acquired my Certificate 3 in Early Childhood Education and am currently studying my Bachelor of Education (Primary) at James Cook University, externally. I enjoy reading, watching Netflix, cooking, building with LEGOS and spending quality time with family and friends.
My favourite subject is history and I am very interested in psychology and neuroscience (how the brain works). I believe that every child deserves the right to feel safe, supported and included in an environment that fosters creativity and critical thinking skills.
My goal as an educator is to provide an inclusive environment that fosters play-based learning and experiences in which children are actively involved in their own learning.
