Our Team

We are a family run boutique centre. We place the emphasis on FAMILY because although not blood related as in the basic social traditional unit, we are a group who share common attitudes, interests and goals and regard ourselves as an extension of your family. The overall well being of your little people are at the centre of our attention and we pride ourselves in fostering a positive, creative, nurturing environment.

I believe as Educators we are here to inspire children’s imagination and to foster their learning and development through the early years of life. Investigating and exploring through play and other creative experiences will allow children to grow and us as educator will grow and learn from them. My aim is to provide a Welcoming environment for both the children and families to allow a happy, trusting and supporting community..

My belief as an educator is that all children should be given choices, responsibilities, and opportunities to initiate their own learning to develop at their own pace.

There is a certain magic that I feel when I work with children and it is my pleasure to be part of Bright Kids Early Learning Centre. I was born into a family of teachers so it’s in my genes to teach and work with children. I have a Bachelor in Education and have been working with children aged 3 – 12 since I finished my studies 10 years ago. I was also a long time volunteer teacher in a school with children with disabilities. I strongly believe learning should be exciting and fun, especially in the early years of development. I have also finished Certificate IV. In Yoga Teacher Training and I love to implement yoga into my teachings.  My approach is loving and caring because children need to feel safe and happy. No matter their age, I always treat them with love and respect because they are our future. And when building a future we need to invest our time, patience, love and understanding. I will always make sure your children feel safe around me, trust me and also have fun with me. Encouraging all their interests and talents and making sure they develop into people we are proud of.

My belief is that all children thrive in a safe and respectful community. As an educator, I believe in providing an environment where children can share ideas, discover their individuality and be stimulated through the resources the centre provides. I aim to work in collaboration with parent, peers and children, helping to build trust, friendship and a sense of belonging within our community. I am passionate about working with children as they are active learners, who take on all challenges through social interactions and play.

Providing healthy nutritious meals for children is something I am very passionate about. I believe that every child should have a well-balanced diet so they can achieve and grow to be their very best.

As a chef,  I believe that healthy eating is the key to fuelling children’s bodies and minds. Positive attitudes toward food and developing healthy eating habits helps cultivate and encourage children’s growth, physical development and healthy brain functioning. Good nutrition underpins children’s holistic development and the eating habits formed in early childhood significantly influence our eating habits as adults.

As a childhood educator, my philosophy is about building on children’s interests to help facilitate their learning and supplying healthy meals to support their brain function.

As an Educator, I believe it is my job to give the Children the love, respect and care that they need when they are in the childcare environment. As a mother of three children I feel I have a great understanding of how the children are feeling and when they need some extra love. I believe in allowing the children to direct their learning through play by allowing them to make the choice about what they want to play with, I also am a big believer in routines, if the routine is kept the same each day the children come to know what is happening and when, but also allowing for flexibility as working with children is not always predictable.

I believe children are the ones who make this world a beautiful place. In order to support them, I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, stimulating, fun and educational environment with a structured day plans. I aim to help children develop confidence and positive self-esteem throughout their learning. I value and respect each child’s ethnicity, their cultural background, and beliefs. I will help them to learn to respect and value each person’s belief’s and ethical values. I believe that it is important to talk with children about their emotions and Reponses to events with a view to supporting their understanding of emotional regulation and self-control, explained by Kohlberg’s Moral Development theory.

As an educator I believe in supporting each child’s unique individuality. Developing, encouraging and building on their strengths to build strong independent thinking individuals. Each child has the right to feel supported in their growth and development. Children are our future

Children learn and develop at an individual rate and I believe that by providing a welcoming, supportive, stimulating and homely place where the children can express their thoughts and feelings freely, gives them the best opportunity to create strong relationships, gain confidence and develop into individual and respectful young people.
