Renee Stockley

Centre Manager - Great Beginnings Golden Bay

“I work hard to ensure that every child is respected and valued as an individual in our community. ”

I commenced my journey in the early learning sector in 2012. During my experience in the early childhood education sector, I have held various roles, including the Educational Leader, responsible for guiding quality practice and programming. In January 2023, I joined Golden Bay as the Centre Manager. I hold a Diploma in Children's services. 

My passion is to provide children with a rich learning environment that encourages them to have fun and develop their emerging interests, abilities, and strengths. Educators are responsible for giving children opportunities to develop life skills, engage in age-appropriate challenges and make decisions about their learning journey. I work hard to ensure that every child is respected and valued as an individual in our community. 

The early years (birth to five) are the foundational years for children to build on social and emotional development. By attending a dedicated early learning environment, your child will have the stepping stones to build their identity, resilience and independence before heading off to formal schooling. We aim to provide all children with a sense of agency and belonging. 

Our Team at Golden Bay are hand-picked due to their passion, experience and knowledge in the sector. We are all dedicated to our roles as educators, helping children develop the love of learning for life.

Our families are always welcome here. We have an orientation process for all new families to support them in settling into care. We distribute our event calendar monthly, so you know what is happening at the centre. You will receive regular and transparent communication from us, so you are always up to date. We welcome any feedback, questions or concerns you may have. We are here to help.

I look forward to welcoming your family to our Great Beginnings Golden Bay community.
