Hello, my name is Stacy, and I am the Centre manager here at Bluebird Moe. I hold my Diploma in Early Childhood Education and have been working in Early Childhood Education for over 18 years.

I have been lucky to experience a variety of roles in the sector from a Trainee, Assistant, Lead Educator, Educational Leader, Assistant Centre Manager and of course, Centre Manager. This journey has allowed me to understand and support each valued role.

As an Early Childhood Educator, I have learnt through my time that children are capable and involved learners who see the smallest wonders around them.

Early Childhood Education is my biggest passion, I have always loved being around children, there is nothing more rewarding than watching the children in our care grow and flourish throughout their Early Childhood years and gain their independence.

I believe in creating strong positive relationships with families and children and forming connections within in community to allow the children the opportunity to explore.

My vision as Centre Manager is to empower our educators to strive to provide the best care for children Moe has to offer, while continuing to be advocates for each child’s voice.

I look forward welcoming you into our Service!

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.

Forest School Program - Each week the children will travel to a local national park or bushland area, where they will be able to play and explore freely, under the discrete observation of the educators.

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.
