Our Team

I am very passionate about the Reggio Emilia Approach. We tailor our curriculum to nurture a child’s intellectual growth and creativity, and lay down strong foundations which are so vital in the early years. Our curriculum is designed to build upon the children’s interests and to develop their skills. Our programming format is unique and is designed to address key learning areas including social skills, language, numeracy, investigation, creative pursuits, fine and gross motor skills, sensory experiences, cultural experiences and environmental understanding. In addition to this it addresses the Outcomes as outlined in the Early Years Learning Frameworks.

I believe that each child is unique and learns and explores in his or her own way. Therefore, we encourage building on their own interests and strengths through scaffolding, mentoring and facilitating their learning and development. I believe that our centre truly captivates this and we ignite the endless possibilities of learning by embracing challenges and rejoicing in accomplishments through our various spaces, open-ended resources and our vibrant atmosphere.

The team I am fortunate to work with shares my passion for seeing children meet their potential. They are dedicated, professional, experienced and highly qualified.

We invite you to come and visit our centre to meet our team and to see for yourself our commitment to your child’s early learning journey.

I am fortunate to work with educators who share my passion for seeing children meet their potential. They are dedicated, professional, experienced and highly qualified.

The wonderful families, children and educators that I interact with on a daily basis are what makes Mildura Early Learning Centre such a fantastic place.

Come in and say hello! I would love to show you and your family what we can offer your child.

I hold an Advanced Diploma of Early Childhood and I have been in the early childhood profession since 2005. I am extremely passionate about early childhood education; working as a Qualified Educator, Educational Leader and Centre Director.

Having worked with all age groups and having been involved in all aspects of child development, I believe that childhood is a special time of life and that the first five years are so very important not only for the child but also for the family. It is a privilege to be a part of a child’s fundamental growth and development and I’m sure that you would agree that there is something very rewarding in seeing children reach their true potential during this formative and important period of time.

I look forward to meeting and working with you and your family within our centre community.

I have been working in early childhood for 6 years here at Mildura Central Early Learning Centre and hold a Diploma of Early Childhood. My strong passion and excitement for the early years is supported through the Victorian Early Years Learning Framework and many professional development opportunities. I have explored learning and development with all age groups as Educational Leader with inspiration from Reggio Emilia and our local community.

I look forward to meeting and working with you and your family.

During this time I have had the opportunity to work with children of all ages from 0-5 years, in each of the rooms at the centre. I continue to learn and be inspired in my role, and have had, and continue to work with many great educators that bring with them a lot of experience in working with children.

My personal philosophy is; I believe that each child is a unique individual and that all children develop through their own pattern of growth and development. Supporting children’s self-confidence and self-esteem is important in helping them reach their developmental milestones.

I believe in the Reggio Emilia Approach, providing a quality curriculum and environment where children are encouraged to learn, create, imagine, discover, problem solve and play.

Inclusion and cultural understanding is an important part of the curriculum. As a result, family involvement is important and encouraged and families are well informed and welcomed to participate in all activities at our centre. Ongoing communication with families is necessary to continue to meet the needs of children in our care.

I look forward to meeting you and your children.
