Team Leader

It has been a delight to work in the early childhood profession for over 16 years. Graduating with a Diploma of Children Services in 2005 and at present working towards my Early Childhood Teacher (ECT) qualifications. I have had the opportunity to work in an array of children’s services; Long Day Care, Out of School Hours Care and Family Day Care.

In my role of Team Leader of Children Services, Director at Wollondilly Preschool and Nominated Supervisor of Family Day Care, I am proud of the professional and caring way in which all staff deliver high quality education and care for families in the Wollondilly Shire community. Demonstrating commitment, knowledge and passion to the Children Service sector, each and every day.

I believe strongly in the benefits of play-based learning and this is reflected in the philosophies of our Preschool and Family Day Care Services. Linking the strong foundation of the Early Years Learning Framework and the Education and Care National Regulations. Such pedagogy has an impact on our decision making; the ethics of respect for individuals, inclusion of all children, building of identity through trusting relationships and partnership with families and the wider community. Therefore, supporting all our Children Services here at Wollondilly Council. While providing the children in our care the skills to flourish throughout their life.
