Qualifications: Diploma of Children’s Services

What makes you passionate about Early Childhood Education? I love forming relationships with the families of the centre who then become apart of our big family here at Aussie Kindies. Nothing makes me smile more then saying good morning to the children each day on my morning walk through and them greeting me with a big cuddle. From an early age, I always wanted to be in the Early Childhood sector. I love working in this field and being a safe haven that’s a home away from home.

What makes your centre different from others? Our centre has a dedicated team who share their strengths and passion for Early Childhood sector every day. We provide quality care and this shows within our daily experiences provided and the ongoing care and support shown to the children and families.
