General Manager
Robyn Hotton
I have a Diploma of Early Childhood Education and have been teaching for 26 years. I am a founding staff member of Scallywaggs and have spent the past 22 years working within Scallywaggs Education & Care services. During this time I became an educator enabling me to spend time at home with my own children, returning to Scallywaggs as the General Manager and also the Regional Manager for Sprouts In-Home Childcare.
I have an amazing supportive team of teachers and educators who take real pride in their work providing a safe and educational home environment for children in their care.

Kia Ora, Ko Andrea Thomson ahau.
Both my husband, Anthony and I are born and bred in Waipukurau. We have two beautiful children, Mason and Paige that keep us busy and on our toes at all times. Before I joined the Administration team I was the coordinator for Kids Club Waipukurau.
Being able to greet all the smiling little faces every morning is definitely a highlight of my position in the main office.
