We believe that the value of play is of utmost importance to children as it is their way of learning about their world. While children play they are able to experiement with new ideas, test theories and their understanding of concepts, express their creative ability, release their emotions and share their feelings. While engaging in play children are developing across all domains and creating the building blocks for their future.
Our Fiafia Cottage is a homely, nurturing environment. Each baby and toddler has their own individual routine and are loved, cuddled, stimulated and nurtured throughout the whole day.
Our Aroha Cottage provides a warm and caring environment focusing on trust and well-being. We focus on building positive relationships and friendships, language, independence, and negotiation techniques.
Our Amaroo Cottage has two age groups. We promote the social, intellectual, and physical growth of each child. We strive to create a childcare environment that enhances a child’s self-image, self-direction, and self motivation.
What led you to a career in the childcare industry?
I have always had an interest and passion of being a teacher growing up. I chose Early Childhood as I felt this was the most important phase of a child’s development and I wanted to be able to support the families and the children’s learning during the younger years of their lives.
What are your favourite memories within the workspace?
Watching the children make friendships with their peers and having fun and exploring their learning environment with their educators and friends.
Who inspires you and why?
My families, children and other educators inspire me.
What are you passionate about?
I am very passionate about making our children capable and confident learners and embracing all families into our service, by providing a warm and safe environment. I am passionate about embracing our educators and supporting their abilities and passion for providing a learning environment for all the children.
What type of leadership style do you have?
I believe I am very passionate and caring and love to communicate with my team, families and children.
What makes your service such an amazing service?
The team, families and children. Each one of them bring happiness, love and new experiences to share with us all each day.
What are your goals for the service over the next 12 months?
My goal is to continue to provide a warm, secure and encouraging learning program for the children in our centre and for The Cottage to be a place in the community where families continue and would love to bring their children.
Our centre welcomes families from surrounding suburbs including Upper Coomera, Coomera, Willowvale and Oxenford. We offer a state-of-the-art facility boasting beautifully renovated environments, spacious play areas, and modern educational materials.
Our aim is to provide a secure and happy environment where children can develop their intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and language skills to become competent and confident individuals. And for you to feel safe knowing that your child is receiving the best possible care.
The Cottage at Coomera is a Queenslander style service with large sweeping verandahs that sits on over an acre of land in the heart of Upper Coomera. The Cottage has 10 rooms with three oversized beautiful playgrounds containing ducks, guinea pigs, vegetable patches, herb gardens with an adventurous sensory garden that is sure to delight and engage the children. 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.
Children at The Cottage at Coomera learned about sustainability and recycling by seeing how paper is made and by creating a paint pendulum out of recycled materials. Both activities were hands-on, informative, creative and had us using lots of new words. It left us wondering how other things are made and what else we could create out of recyclable materials.
The children from Owls and all the senior playground at The Cottage at Coomera have been learning all about worm tea and working with the worm farm to produce lots of the nutrient dense liquid for families to take and put in their gardens at home.
I’ve been with the cottage for 4 years now I was so fortunate to be given a float position which allowed me to learn from so many different educators. I was fortunate enough to quickly work my way up to being lead educator all in thanks to the amazing co-workers who supported me. Working with Story House has given me wonderful opportunity to learn and grow as an educator and a wide range of support within the company.
Our Queenslander style child care centre is situated in the heart of Upper Coomera, on Old Coach Rd. We’re just the other side of Days Road from Woolworths Coomera West, and a short drive from Coomera Springs State School, Coomera Anglican College, and Assisi Catholic College.
