Hello! My name is Stephanie, I’m originally from England, but I have lived and worked in Ras Al Khaimah for 4 years. I graduated from the University of Chichester and I have been an Early Years Teacher for 6 years. My teaching philosophy is based on the development of every child, through meaningful, real-life contexts and play. I believe that children learn through first-hand experiences and stimulating environments, which make the learning personal and relevant to the child. I am excited to be living in Dubai with my three cats. I love swimming and the beach and spending time with my friends. I also enjoy travelling and trying new activities. I am looking forward to working at SISD and meeting new people and cultures.
