My name is Kerstin Voelker. I grew up in Germany and moved to Abu Dhabi 15 years ago. I qualified as a nursery teacher in Germany and started off my career in Early Years Education. I have also been working with special needs children in a care home, at the German School in London, and as a music teacher. In Abu Dhabi, I managed various early years settings over the past 10 years. I absolutely love being part of the children’s learning journey and working in close partnership with parents.
