Debbie Leboe (she/her)
Early Childhood Educator,
Bachelor of Education, BA History
Debbie is very excited to be part of the TNNS team in September 2025. She brings knowledge and experience from her previous role working as Lead Educator in a 100% outdoor program. Here she saw how a connection to nature creates opportunities for growing strong, resilient, curious, empathetic and kind humans.
Debbie has been working as an educator for over 20 years, she trained as a teacher in the UK and her passion for working with preschoolers began when her own children attended a parent participation preschool and she discovered the joy and curiosity unique to this age group.
Debbie spent her childhood living on a remote Island in the Irish Sea and believes that the best education happens when children are engaged in hands on exploration, building relationships with others and the world around them.
Debbie loves being outside with her partner and teenagers, especially time spent near the ocean or up in the mountains. She is also taking on the challenge of learning to play the ukulele and is looking forward to sharing music and song at school this year.
“I love being in water, my favourite activity in the world is swimming at night in bioluminescence, it is such a surreal and magical phenomenon that makes me feel deeply connected to nature.”
