"Early Childhood Education is the key to the betterment of society"– Maria Montessori
Having journeyed through over 20 years in the early years sector, both as a Montessori and Early Childhood trained teacher and as a mum myself, I truly understand the immense power that comes when professionals feel genuinely supported.
I've walked in your shoes, from educator to centre director to operations manager and seen firsthand the incredible, lasting impact that dedicated guidance and support can have on teams, on children, and on families.
This deep understanding is why Beyond the Clock was born: to be that very support for you. I offer personalized mentorship and practical solutions designed not just to help you tick boxes, but to empower you to truly flourish, finding renewed purpose, confidence, and joy in your work with children.
It's about helping you shine and in turn, create a beautiful ripple effect for the children, staff and families in your community.
I look forward to supporting you in your journey.

It has been my absolute pleasure to have worked with Tamiko and have her as a trusted mentor over the last 4 years. Her attentiveness to the workplace management and culture is always friendly, motivating, competent, efficient and professional. Tamiko is dependably a great listener and collaborator of new ideas.
Tamiko is such a thoughtful and experienced educator and leader with both an ECT and Montessori background. Her passion, dedication and respect for children's learning and independence is evident across all her communication and ideas. As a Lead Educator, I’ve learnt a lot from Tamiko when I’ve had questions about pedagogy or needed guidance supporting children and families.
Tamiko is forever resourceful — accessing information, locating articles, and keeping up with new developments within early childhood. She’s a trusted colleague with high moral standards, a good listener, steady and wise. It's been a privilege having Tamiko just a call away to discuss issues, brainstorm ideas, and celebrate successes with.
Tam brings a profound and intuitive understanding of early childhood education that goes beyond theory—she embodies it in everything she does. What has always stood out to me is the way she creates space for genuine, two-way conversations. One of Tam’s most remarkable strengths is her ability to bridge the often-misunderstood gap between the Montessori philosophy and the realities of long day care settings. She ensures that every voice is heard and respected, creating a shared sense of purpose and ultimately contributing to a community-centred early learning environment.There are people in your professional journey who help shape not just your career, but the kind of professional you aspire to be. For me, Tam is one of those people.
“I have had the pleasure of knowing Tamiko for 6-7 years, during which she has proven to be a trustworthy coworker and an exceptional guide. Her ability to offer thoughtful tailored advice for any situation is truly remarkable. She stays up to date with all the developments in the Early Childhood industry, ensuring that her guidance is always relevant and practical. Her insight and proactive approach have been invaluable, and I deeply appreciate the support that she has provided.
