Meet the team

Meet the team

Throughout my years working in early learning I have developed strong beliefs in how the environment plays a major role in the success of a child’s individual learning. Once the child feels safe, secure, and nurtured, their learning will naturally develop through play, encouraging autonomy for them to explore, discover, create and imagine. 

We welcome you and your family to book a tour and come and experience our wonderful centre for yourself!
