    <p>I began working in early childhood education in 2015 and joined Creative Garden Bendigo in 2020. Since joining the centre, I have progressed from Assistant Educator to Lead Educator, Assistant Centre Manager, and now Centre Manager, gaining valuable experience at each stage of my journey.<\/p> <p>I was inspired to join the early childhood education and care sector because I believe the early years are crucial to a child\u2019s development, and I am passionate about supporting children and families during this important stage of life. I believe that when children feel safe, supported, and confident, they are more willing to explore, take risks, and learn through play and everyday experiences. Creating an environment where children feel respected and cared for is at the heart of everything I do.<\/p> <p>When speaking with families, I explain that attending a dedicated early learning centre gives children valuable opportunities to build strong relationships with peers their own age, supporting their confidence in social settings and preparing them for participation in larger group environments before school. It also provides a structured and supportive environment where children can express their creativity and continue developing important life skills.<\/p> <p>At Creative Garden Bendigo, I am proud to lead a caring and respectful team that is committed to ongoing learning and growth alongside the children in our care. Together, we advocate for children\u2019s development and safety while working to provide high-quality care and bring a little magic into each child\u2019s day. We place strong importance on building partnerships with families through open and effective communication.<\/p> <p>I support families by being consistently available to answer questions, provide guidance during orientations and daily interactions, and help families identify arrangements that best meet their individual needs. By maintaining open communication and working in partnership with families, I aim to build trusting relationships that support each child\u2019s learning, wellbeing, and sense of belonging.<\/p> <p><\/p>                                                    <\/div>\n                                                                                                            <a href=\"#\" class=\"g8-centre-managers__slide__read-more\"><span>Read <span\n                                                                    class=\"more\">more<\/span><span class=\"less\">less<\/span><\/span><\/a>\n                                                                                                                                                <\/div>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                                                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"g8-slider-pagination-container\">\n                                <div class=\"g8-centre-managers__pagination g8-slider-pagination\"><\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                            \n                                                <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-g8-star-two\"><\/i>\n                        <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-g8-three-lines\"><\/i>\n                        <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-g8-book\"><\/i>\n                        <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-g8-music\"><\/i>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n    <section id=\"g8-image-content_8_680071fe9c5bc\" class=\"g8-image-content g8-block-container  \">\n        <div class=\"g8-container\">\n            <div class=\"g8-row\">\n                <div class=\"g8-col\">\n                    <div class=\"g8-image-content__container full no-image\">\n                        <div class=\"g8-image-content__inner-container--image\">\n                                                                                                                                        <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"g8-image-content__inner-container--content\">\n                                                                                        <h2 class=\"g8-image-content__title g8-block-subtitle\">Our Bendigo Kindergarten&#8217;s Philosophy<\/h2>\n                                                                                        <div class=\"g8-image-content__content g8-block-wysiwyg\"><p>At our Kindergarten in Bendigo, we acknowledge that we work and play on the traditional lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung Country, and we pay our respects to the Jarra Jarra people and their Elders, past and present.

They usually run during school term and school hours, meaning the program runs for 40 weeks per year, with most sessions finishing up around 2 pm, over 2-3 days per week.<\/p>\n<p>The kindergarten or preschool program is also offered in long day care centres. Most long day care centres are open from 7:00 AM. to 6:00 PM, Monday to Friday with flexible drop-off\/pick-up times to better accommodate busy working families. Long day care centres run 52 weeks per year, meaning your child would not miss out on valuable learning opportunities during school holidays.<\/p>\n<p>Nutritional meals and snacks are covered in long day care centres, so you don\u2019t have to worry about packing lunches.<\/p>\n<p>Child Care Subsidy still applies when your child attends the kindergarten or preschool programs offered in long day care services. Depending on your state or territory, different funding options can be combined with your Child Care Subsidy savings, making kindergarten or preschool more affordable for your family.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, there is no difference between the curriculums adopted by long day care and sessional kindergarten or preschool providers. They are both run by qualified early childhood teachers, and they all align with Early Years Learning Framework, focusing on supporting individual children\u2019s development, interests and needs through play-based and intentional learning experiences.<\/p>\n<p>If your child is already settled at a long day care centre, they have the opportunity to stay in a familiar environment, transitioning together with their friends.<\/p>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                                                    <div class=\"g8-accordion__item accordion-item\">\n                                        <h2 class=\"g8-accordion__item__header accordion-header\">\n                                            <button class=\"g8-accordion__item__header__button accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#flush-collapse-g8-accordion_20_66f60a6e67206-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"flush-collapse-g8-accordion_20_66f60a6e67206-1\">\n                                                <span class=\"g8-accordion__item__title\">How does my child become eligible for \u2018free\u2019 Kindergarten in Victoria?<\/span>\n                                                <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-alt-arrow-down\"><\/i>\n                                            <\/button>\n                                        <\/h2>\n                                        <div id=\"flush-collapse-g8-accordion_20_66f60a6e67206-1\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" data-bs-parent=\"#g8-accordion_20_66f60a6e67206\">\n                                            <div class=\"g8-accordion__item__content g8-block-wysiwyg\">\n                                                <p>To receive the Best Start, Best Life Kinder subsidy, your child needs to turn 4 years on or before 30th April 2024 and enrolled in a funded Kindergarten program in 2024.

Most long day care centres are open from 7:00 AM. to 6:00 PM, Monday to Friday with flexible drop-off\\\/pick-up times to better accommodate busy working families. Long day care centres run 52 weeks per year, meaning your child would not miss out on valuable learning opportunities during school holidays.\\nNutritional meals and snacks are covered in long day care centres, so you don\\u2019t have to worry about packing lunches.\\nChild Care Subsidy still applies when your child attends the kindergarten or preschool programs offered in long day care services.
