Get To Know Us

Meet the team

Meet the team

Hi, I’m Tayla, and I’m the proud Service Manager of Bluebird Cranbourne West. My journey in early childhood education began in 2016, and over the years, I’ve developed a deep passion for nurturing young minds and supporting families through their early learning journey. Backed by my Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care, I bring a strong foundation of knowledge, hands-on experience, and a heart-driven approach to my role.

Throughout my career, I’ve dedicated my time to working across all age groups, from 6 weeks to 6 years, gaining invaluable insights into each stage of early development. This broad experience has given me a genuine understanding of the unique needs of every child, and how best to support them through their early years, and has been furthered through each role I have taken on, as a room Lead educator, Educational Leader, Assistant Centre Manager, and now as Centre Manager.

As a mum to a beautiful daughter, I also bring a personal perspective to my role. I understand firsthand the trust families place in us, and I’m able to truly relate to their needs, hopes, and expectations. This has deepened my empathy and strengthened my commitment to creating a centre that feels like a second home – a place where families feel supported and listened to, and children are loved, nurtured, and encouraged to thrive.

At Bluebird Cranbourne West, I’m proud to lead a passionate team of educators who share my belief in the power of connection, play, and meaningful relationships. Seeing children grow in confidence, curiosity, and joy is what inspires myself, along with the team, every single day.

I look forward to meeting everyone who comes into our service and building strong, trusting relationships with both children and their families.
About the curriculum

About the curriculum

The Kindergarten program is a complete cycle of each individual child’s development. Educators see and learn the ways children take on new knowledge and adapt their teaching practices to cater for them. The environment is busy and forever changing as learning evolves. You’ll often find the Kinder children out at Forest School, where the natural environment is the teacher.

Through many literacy games, active outdoor play, and day-to-day activities, Educators strive to get each child ready for their first year of school, providing them with the emotional, physical and intellectual support.

Qualified Teachers constantly critically reflect on their curriculum, ensuring that it’s at its best for the diversity within the centre. A home away from home, where learning takes flight with the little Bluebirds.

Centre philosophy

Centre philosophy

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. 

Health & Nutrition

Health & Nutrition

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.

Had a great experience visiting Blue Bird for a tour. Tayla, Lisa and Gianna were all so lovely, welcoming and helpful throughout the visit. They made me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived and took the time to show us around and answer any questions. You can tell they genuinely care about what they do, and it was great meeting such a friendly and professional team. Thanks again to Tayla, Lisa and Gianna for making the experience such a positive one! 😊

As parents, we believe families deserve to be aware of behaviour that raises serious concerns about bullying, intimidation, and professional integrity.<br>We are alarmed that an educator who has recently joined your centre has contacted parents, including our family, from her previous workplace, encouraging us to participate in negative social media commentary about that centre.<br>What makes this particularly concerning is that our own experiences have been entirely positive. We are happy with the care our children receive and have no grievances against our current centre. We refuse to be drawn into negativity that does not reflect our own experiences.<br>We are also concerned that this is now the educator’s third centre within the Cranbourne West community. While changing workplaces is not inherently concerning, when considered alongside our experience of being approached to participate in a campaign against a former workplace, it raises serious questions about professional boundaries and conduct.<br>Bullying, intimidation, and attempts to involve parents in damaging the reputation of others have no place in an industry built on trust, respect, and the wellbeing of children.<br>Our concern now extends to the potential impact this behaviour may have on the centre that has welcomed this educator, its existing team, the families who place their trust in it, and anyone who may come into contact with her. We believe these concerns deserve careful consideration, as a safe and respectful environment depends on the conduct of every person within it.
