Creative Garden Mount Annan OSHC provides an environment with experiences which enable children to grow physically, emotionally, intellectually and socially through a balance of structured play, exploration, learning and group participation.

Our service caters for children from 5 years to 12 years of age. For your convenience both breakfast and afternoon tea are provided to help ensure every child’s daily transition to and from school runs smoothly.  

At Creative Garden Mount Annan OSHC we believe individual children acquire values and attitudes towards themselves, their friends, families and society predominantly in their early years which influences them into adulthood. Our centre aims to provide a healthy, safe, caring, loving and secure environment necessary for the development of positive relationships in which all are listened to and respected.

We additionally offer Vacation care during school holidays with a schedule full of stimulating and fun activities, including excursions to many exciting locations!

If you require Long Day Care, please see our Creative Garden Early Learning Mount Annan website.

How long have you been working in early education?

I have been in the industry for 5 years.

What is your favourite part of working at the centre?

My favourite part of working at the centre is being able to engage with a wide variety of children from different schools and the many families we have here. I am able to immerse myself in a broad culture and learn from each of our unique families.

What qualifications do you hold?

I hold a Diploma of Children’s Services

What is your favourite inspirational quote?

My favourite inspirational quote is safe as life, from my favourite book. It inspires me as nothing in life is inherently safe and everything is a lesson. As such I am a big advocate for children being empowered to take risks to learn and grow as individuals in all ways.

What inspired you to become an educator?

I was inspired to become an educator through my passion for helping people and my love of all things fun and exploration. I think every individual is on a lifelong journey of discovery and exploration, and what better way to grow myself than to help young people to grow and evolve.

What is one of your hobbies?

I am a musical person and I love to sing and play my ukulele and guitar. I love to share this passion with the children and my educators (even if they don’t want to hear it!). I have always incorporated music into my program and practice and love how music can bring people together.

What message would you like to tell parents considering your centre?

We have a close knit and passionate team from diverse backgrounds who have their own individual passions and bring something amazing to our service. Our team are responsive and want to engage your child in the most enhancing care that they can. We have a strong focus on family and the environment in our service and would love to include you in that too.
