ESTA - Key Persons


Esta Karpulis

Esta was the head pre-school teacher for my daughter in 2015 and 2016. During that time, I had the pleasure of seeing how well Esta dealt with young children and their families with kindness, patience and love. Esta was in charge of ensuring that the children were learning essential self-care and social skill concepts such as sharing, expressing emotions appropriately and being able to participate in group activities every day. The children and my daughter loved being in Esta's class. Esta managed a class of over 20 young children, keeping them active and busy, learning basic early literacy and numeracy skills, arts and crafts and physical activity. I believe that she is well qualified and experienced and has a great way of relating to young children, to make them feel valued, cared for and happy in her care.
