A Family Business

    Tiffany is a passionate educator; she trained as a Montessori teacher at the Maria Montessori Institute in London and holds Early Years Professional Status, a graduate level teaching accreditation.

“I enjoy working at Newpark because it has a caring, respectful and vivid culture. The directors deeply care about their employees' wellbeing and professional development. They gave me every opportunity to study and grow in my career journey since I was first employed.

I was also really grateful that Newpark was a reliable and stable workplace during the uncertain times of Covid-19.

Since I started, I made so many close friends here and Newpark eventually became my family...”
