I have been working in the Early Education since 1998 and have been at the service since January 2003. I am a qualified Early Childhood Teacher who is passionate about providing an environment where children and families are individuals who needs to feel supported, secure and cared for as they are involved in a stimulating atmosphere.

My philosophy is to provide enriched and well balance experiences, where children’s interests are enhanced. My passion for education sees me establishing environments that are safe, supports risk taking and allows for children’s natural curiosity to drive his/her own learning as they are immersed in a world of discovery. 

I am a strong believer that the environment serves as the third teacher. Through engaging set ups and a curriculum that is driven by children’s interest, voices and thought processes, we are allowing children to be capable learners.  As they take ownership of this curriculum, they become motivated to persist and master skills that are the key to their development. Through provoking self-discovery children can create meaningful moments in their lives and we are empowering them to foster positive learning skills and a passion for further discoveries.

Our service provides and is committed to excellence in Early Childhood Education and Teaching. Our qualified, experienced and passionate team of Educators will work with families of the community to provide secure, happy and stimulating learning environments for all children in our care.  We are confident that we are creating environments that develop the links for children between their home life and center life.

I am excited to welcome you into the Creative Garden family and look forward to supporting, guiding and caring for your most precious asset.
