Hello, my name is Beau, and I am the proud Centre Manager here at Bluebird Koo Wee Rup. I hold a Diploma of Education, and I am currently completing my Bachelor of Early Childhood Education.

I have 6 years’ experience, working within Early Childhood Education and leadership roles, managing both private and not-for-profit Services. I believe that all children are powerful, capable learners, and I am committed to ensuring our programs honour their voices, interests and individual learning journeys.

I am dedicated to creating warm, welcoming, and inclusive learning environments for children and a special place where families and educators feel valued, respected and welcomed.

My own children were my inspiration to follow a career in Education, and my experiences as a parent guide my interactions with families, equipping me with a strong understanding of what your hopes and needs might be for our Service. Building strong and respectful relationships with families is important to me, and I look forward to getting to know you and your child.

I strongly believe that high-quality education has the power to make a difference in the lives of children and the wider community. This core belief brings me absolute joy in inspiring educators to create exceptional learning environments for children.

I look forward to welcoming you to our learning community here at Bluebird Koo Wee Rup and getting to know you and your family.

Kindy of Kindness - Initiatives may include visits to aged care facilities, baking for the local emergency services, and fund-raising projects to assist charity groups.

Sustainability Program - By taking part in daily sustainable living practices including recycling, composting, worm farming, energy and water saving, the children develop a working understanding of how they can play a vital role in protecting the environment.

Community connections - By forging strong community ties they enable the children to develop a deep sense of belonging and connection to the world around them, construct an understanding of how society works, and begin to recognise and respect the shared values that unite us.

Technology focus - Technology is introduced through a play based approach. Educators role model and assist children to gain new knowledge and to better understand concepts through the designated computer programs. 

The centre believes in a hands-on approach to teaching children about food, which is why cooking classes are offered as part of the curriculum.

Children are encouraged to help out where they can, whether that’s chopping fruit for smoothies or pouring them out for everyone.

Food is used as a way to teach children about identifying their needs and attending to them. Children can access drink stations and fruit bowls for a quick snack.
