Debbie Iles

Kairēhita Tari | Organisational Administrator

I grew up in West Auckland and, after several years of travel, settled back here with my husband and our children. I bring many years of experience working behind the scenes in early childhood education, supporting services through strong administration, systems, and processes that enable quality practice to flourish.

I’m deeply committed to the values that sit at the heart of Kaitiaki Kindergartens and the incredible mahi happening across the organisation. I believe tamariki are our future, and I’m passionate about using my skills to create supportive foundations for our kaiako - empowering them to nurture curiosity, belonging, and a lifelong love of learning in every child.
