Nikki Prendergast

Graduating from Wellington College of Education with a Diploma of Teaching in 1993, Nikki has worked in the field of early childhood in New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom.

Having managed both small community early childhood centres and large corporate early childhood groups, Nikki's diverse management experience has further fueled her passion for people, assisting her in the successful creation and operation of the New Shoots Children's Centres.

Alongside this successful venture, Nikki has been extensively involved in the development and implementation of services supporting families, including budgeting services, young parent programmes, and counselling services, and is currently a consultant for the Ministry of Education.

Nikki is looking forward to being able to work alongside families and children on a global scale to improve outcomes in their communities.
