Story House Early Learning is a growing service in a developing country community. Being part of a rural town we have opportunities embrace all that it has to offer, from its natural resources and environments, these are tremendous opportunities to teach our children all that is on offer in their community. Our aim is to provide a nurturing, safe and happy environment for all children and families who attend our service.
Located in a great area with strong connections to the community. This is an opportunity for your child to develop within spaces in which they can feel safe and continue on their learning journey.
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?
Caring and nurturing children has always been apart of me, supporting growth and development in both children and educators is something I am very proud of. As a Mum I wanted to provide a service where families feel they can leave their child knowing they are loved, cared for and safe.

What are you passionate about?
Sharing my knowledge and love for children and their development. Having a team that is knowledgeable and share’s the same visions to make our service a warm loving environment that is like a second home.
What type of leadership style do you have?
I am a gentle caring leader who see’s the team as equal and believes everyone has something to bring to the table. I like to support my team to be the best they can be and encourage them to all constantly learn and grow so we can have a team that is strong in knowledge and providing the best we can to our families and children.
What makes your service such an amazing service?
The relationship myself and my team of educators have with our families, creating a close community within our service, inspires me and excites me to come to work every day.
