Tena Koa, hello my name is Tansy Wilson, Supervisor here at Mairehau First Learners. I am a married mum of two young adults. I graduated from the University of Canterbury with a Diploma in Teaching & Learning (Early Childhood) in 2008.

I have been working for First Learners for well over 12 years in Rangiora. During this time I left for 3 months to develop as a teacher where I worked at a montessori preschool. I returned to join the Mairehau team in 2013 as Team Leader in the Transition Room with the 2-3 year olds and then in 2016 moving on to become Supervisor of this centre.

I enjoy walking and the great outdoors, being creative with natural resources and spending time with family and friends. I look forward to getting to know you, your whanau/family, your child and together with the team of teachers here at Mairehau First Learners to create wonderful memories as we follow your child's learning journey together.
I look forward to meeting with you. E noho ra - Stay Well.
