Kirsten White's favourite part of her job is seeing the determination on the faces of the young people she teaches when they're learning something new.
Miss White is a teacher at the Village Childcare in Bethlehem and says she enjoys spending one-on-one time with the children.
"You get to see the child's personality coming out, their frustration then their determination come out, then their happy little faces when they get it."
Miss White has been at the centre since August last year. She has a degree in sport and exercise with a major in teaching and last year completed her post graduate study in childhood education.
Miss White began her study with the idea of going into secondary schooling, but was attracted to the younger age group after spending some time with her friend's child and seeing the girl's growth and progress.
