Meet the team

Meet the team

We are proud to have a passionate, experienced team dedicated to each child’s well-being and development. Our team includes three qualified Early Childhood Teachers (ECTs), with Kristi bringing over 25 years of experience, enriching our service with her knowledge and commitment.

Our educators create a warm, supportive environment where mutual respect thrives, fostering meaningful relationships with each child. This ensures that every child feels safe, happy, and valued throughout their learning journey.

We prioritise ongoing professional development, offering growth opportunities to keep our educators at the forefront of early childhood education, enriching each child's experience.

Parent communication and involvement

Parent communication and involvement

At Story House Early Learning Geelong, we are passionate about supporting families and being an active part of our vibrant local community. We pride ourselves on being an early education hub, connecting with local agencies to offer a strong network of support for families and children.

We strive to be an extension of your family, fostering open, honest communication in a welcoming, judgment-free space. Parents can rest assured that their concerns are always heard, respected, and addressed with care.

Through the StoryPark platform, we keep you closely connected to your child's learning journey, sharing lively photos and stories so you never miss a precious moment.

Health and Nutrition

Health and Nutrition

We are lucky to have a mother-and-daughter duo, Tina and Ally, as our talented in-house chefs! Every day, they prepare freshly made, nutritious meals on-site, tailored to meet each child's dietary needs and preferences. They make the best sweet potato cookies in the world – according to the children!

Beyond simply serving meals, they also engage children in the joy of food through hands-on cooking lessons and interactive discussions in the classroom. This approach helps foster a fun, educational experience where children can learn about nutrition, cooking, and the origins of the food they eat.

Staff lovely. The fact they have contactable and organised reception, management and social welfare staff to assist new and vulnerable families in the process and any challenges is amazing. They are prompt at replying to emails, concerns, organising orientation, explaining and assisting with fees and subsidies. Documentation and photos of children’s learning and development is provided daily via the Story Park App. Centre appears clean, well resourced, plus sustainable and natural environmental materials are encouraged. Highly recommend Story House compared to other more pricey centres in higher socio economic areas etc.
