We partner with you to provide a safe, quality, family-centred learning environment where every child is respected and nurtured. We continually develop our skills and explore new ways to enrich your child’s early learning experience.
Indoor and outdoor play based experiences are an integral part of our program. Educators plan a diverse range of experiences to create opportunities for your child in both structured and spontaneous play.
Our programs are inspired by the wisdom and teachings of early childhood theorists and the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), and aim to develop children’s emotional, social and cognitive intelligence.
The Kindergarten curriculum continues to emphasise play based learning, however offers additional intentional learning times where the focus is on literacy and numeracy, socialisation, self-regulation and independence.
What led you to a career in the childcare industry?
After babysitting for friends and family I found myself to drawn to wanting to learn and know more about what we can do, as an educator to develop and extend on each child’s individual educational learning journey.
What are your favourite memories within the workspace?
Being given the opportunity to be a Service Manager at Story house Lara, meeting the team of educators, along with each day meeting the individual children and their parents as they come in. I look forward to meeting more of our children and their families and creating our community networks within Lara.
Who Inspires you and why?
My two daughters they inspire me every day to keep building on my own goals and continue to learn – as I want to be able to be a role model to them, that the world is out there ready for them to explore.
What are you passionate about?
I am extremely passionate about ensuring that each, and every child that comes to our Service feels safe, supported, respected, nurtured and cared for, that we are an extension to their family. That our environments are set up in a way that we offer the children with endless opportunities for learning experiences to occur.
What type of leadership style do you have?
I believe that a leader is only as good as their team, and that we all have our own individual strengths, and that we all bring something unique. I am looking forward to building and inspiring the team at Lara through empowering and acknowledging their growth and their successes. That as a team we can all work together to achieve the best possible outcome for the children and their families at the service.
What makes your service such an amazing service?
That we can come in to work everyday and be rewarded with a smile, a hug from all the children within in our classrooms. We are also extremely fortunate that we can come in and share beautiful indoor and outdoor environments that offer the opportunity for valuable interactions and learning experiences to take place.
What are your goals for the service over the next 12 months?
Increasing our current occupancy, extending on our community networks, and building on us being recognised as a leading educational learning service for families within the area.
