Gemma: Centre Director
I believe that the first five years of a child’s life are vital for development and their experiences throughout these early years set the foundation for learning current and future. Each child is individual, on their own path of learning and development. It is our job to support, challenge and nurture each child on their journey in an environment that is safe; secure, stimulating and inclusive, encouraging them to thrive. I am fortunate to work along side a team of dedicated and passionate early childhood professionals who create a home away from home for your family.

Danielle: Educational Leader / Room Leader / Early Childhood Teacher
I believe that children are unique in their own special ways and are very capable of achieving especially when they feel safe and respected in their learning environment. I also believe in the importance of catering to individual needs, abilities, interests and learning styles to make learning more personalised and meaningful. My aim as an educator is to create an inviting and safe space where mutual trust and respect can be developed, whilst providing hands-on learning experiences that are fun, stimulating, challenging and achievable. Ultimately, I aim to shape children’s minds in the way they behave and think so they grow to become individuals who are positive and resilient

Cassi: Diploma Educator
I believe that when children have a sense of belonging and feel safe, secure and supported they have the confidence to play, explore, make decisions and learn. As an Early Childhood Educator developing nurturing, respectful and reciprocal relationships with children and their feelings creates a responsive and inclusive environment which promotes each individual child's belonging and learning.

Lucy: Early Childhood Educator
I believe that children’s early exploration of the world is vital to their understanding of it later on. For this reason I promote and encourage learning through play and aim to provide many fun opportunities and activities for children to conduct their own exploration under. I also believe that it is important to create a safe environment for children to come to each day where they feel safe and appreciated, for this reason developing healthy, meaningful bonds and relationships with children are of the highest importance to me.
