Michaela Johnson
I am currently enrolled at Leeds Beckett University studying for a BA degree in ‘Teaching and Education’. Although I am in my first year of university, I have over 7 years’ experience working with children in over four countries where I have gained experience across two broad and diverse curriculums in both Singapore and Australia, and now, England. I have a Diploma in Montessori Method of Education, and I have a great sense of belief in their philosophy of allowing children to learn at their own pace and according to their own interest.
I believe in creating an environment that is fun and engaging for children and I am looking forward to supporting the teachers at 22 Street Lane in achieving this. I love to integrate learning through music and stories at every age group.
I am extremely excited to learn and grow with the team at 22 Street Lane as I believe that it will enable me to utilise my passion, enthusiasm and drive to make a difference in a young person’s life and offer the opportunity to contribute to a child's development in order to maximize their future well-being.

I am currently studying part-time for a BA (Hons) degree in ‘Working with Children, Young People and Families’ at Leeds Beckett University, and have over 4 years’ experience working with young children in different primary schools and nursery settings. I also spent a short time teaching in a school over in Uganda last summer, it was an eye-opening experience and it was great to see the importance of education across the world.
In my spare time I enjoy going to the cinema, cooking and spending time with friends and family. I also now volunteer in a community centre as a youth worker.
I look forward to joining the 22 Street Lane Nursery team and will aim to work together with the rest of the staff in our mission to give every child the best possible start in life!

I have been working with children for 6 years in schools, nurseries and one specialist provision. I am currently studying Childhood Development and Playwork (BA Hons) at university and chose this area of study because I know play is such an important aspect of children’s lives and is necessary for their development.
I'm passionate about ensuring children’s environments are set up in ways that promote their play needs and therefore allow them to develop in the ways they need.

I hold a Level 3 qualification in Childcare, and I have gained experience previously working with young children in a private day nursery and primary school. I have always been passionate about working with children and love that I can help them learn and grow.
I am so thankful for this opportunity to not only teach children new things, but to learn new things myself in the nursery environment.
