Jess Johns

Visiting Teacher

Hi, my name is Jess

I am a Visiting Teacher for the Otago/Southland region. I was born and raised in Dunedin where I live with my husband and two young children. I hold a Bachelor of Teaching, 12 years of Early Childhood Education experience, and will complete my Diploma in Psychology by the end of 2026.

I care deeply about children and their early years and am thrilled to be part of a collaborative team who display the devotion and respect the early years deserve.

“Childhood is not a race…it is a small window of time to learn and develop at a pace that is right for each individual child…” – Magda Gerber
