Child Care and Kindergarten for families in Epping

Meet our Service Manager

My name is Shamona Verma. I hold a Diploma in Children’s Services. I also hold a Bachelors degree in Education from overseas and have been teaching children of varied age groups in India. I moved to Australia with my husband and two beautiful children, in 2011. I’ve always been passionate about educating children and caring for them, therefore decided to study Children’s Services.

I began my career in Early Childhood Education in Australia by completing Certificate lll in Children’s Services, and worked as an Assistant at Goodstart Early Learning. While working at Goodstart, I gained hands on knowledge of stages of development of early childhood and decided to work towards a Diploma qualification. After accomplishing my Diploma in Children’s Services, I took up a role of a Qualified Assistant with Early Childhood Management Services (ECMS), and soon stepped up to the position of Room Leader for children under three years of age.

In year 2017, I got a chance to assistant the Centre Director and was responsible for running the centre in absence of the Centre Director. Later during the year, I  got appointed as the Educational Leader at the service. In this role, I developed an in depth knowledge of documenting children’s learning and mentored the team of educators in developing and implementing a quality educational program for the children.

My personal philosophy is greatly inspired by Reggio Emilia approach. I advocate providing stimulating but open-ended learning environments and then putting the children in the driver’s seat and watching them steer through the learning experiences in their own unique way.
