After a few years away, Fiona returned to Little Green House with her trademark good humour, an impressive tea supply, and her gift for connecting across cultures. In this episode, she shares her path from Waldorf schooling to early childhood education, why language diversity keeps her curious, and how strong, trusting relationships are the secret to everything she does, with children, parents and colleagues alike.
She left after seven years to try something new (a classic case of the seven-year itch), but some places stay with you. Maybe it’s the people. Maybe it’s the purpose. Or maybe it’s the rare joy of working where parents get genuinely excited about black tea. Either way, we’re thrilled she’s back.
