Hi, I’m Yolandie Vosloo, Centre Administrator for Little Wonders since January 2022.
I love my job and meeting new parents and children.

I was born in South Africa and been living in NZ for nearly 21yrs. Home is Rolleston with my husband and our 14yr old JR terrier. Both our kids live in Australia, and I love to go visit them and to see our 1yr old Grandson Cairo (Ouma’s favourite).

Kia ora, my name is Lisa Matthews, and I am excited to be a member the team at Little Wonders Rolleston. I look forward to part of the learning journeys of our amazing tamariki and their whānau. 

A little about me – I am married to Deane, and we have two children, Carter and Paige, who are in their late teens and early 20’s.
We live in Dunsandel on a small lifestyle block, where we share our home with our cat, dog, and three pet sheep. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, travelling and I have loved being involved in managing sports teams and supporting local clubs that my children have been a part of.

I have been working in early childhood education since 1990 and hold a Bachelor of Teaching (ECE)through Te Tari Puna Ora o Aotearoa/New Zealand Childcare Association, along with a Diploma in Montessori Education (ECE).

I believe in valuing, respecting, appreciating, and encouraging each child’s uniqueness. Through strong, positive relationships, children develop a sense of safety, security, and confidence in their learning. I have a particular passion for working with under 3s and diverse learners, ensuring that every child feels supported and empowered.

As a teacher, I am committed to ongoing learning and professional development to continually grow my skills and knowledge.
