Senior EIE, Marie Stevenson retires

A love of working with children and parents, started a 26-year journey for Marie Stevenson, working as a Senior Early Intervention Educator (EIE) with the Champion Centre. 

‘I have always believed in the philosophy of the Champion Centre. I feel very privileged to have worked here for so long and witnessed the Centre grow from strength to strength,' says Marie.
​
​Wendy Entwistle (Executive Director and Marie's former manager) says, ‘Marie's boundless energy, immense skill as an educator, and her absolute love of her work has never diminished throughout this time. She will be greatly missed, by staff and families alike.’

‘My husband Gav and I are looking at doing some great Kiwi walks and camping under the stars. I’m looking forward to spending time with my whānau and friends and Covid willing, some overseas travel.’

Marie retired from her role in mid-April. We wish her all the very best for the next stage of her journey.​
