Centre Manager - Great Beginnings Hornsby

“The first 5 years of learning are fundamental for children to get the best start in life.”  

My career in early learning started in 2012. I joined the team at Great Beginnings Hornsby in 2023. I hold a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education (Birth-12 years) and I have worked for G8 Education for 8 years.

I am passionate about working with children. The first 5 years of learning are fundamental for children to get the best start in life. Having strong and positive role models in these first 5 years makes a huge difference in children’s development and learning journey. I love building great relationships with children and feeling the excitement when children learn something for the first time.

I have learnt that children are capable, unique and resilient. The way children can imagine, create, play and investigate has shaped my teaching in being a co-learner with children and providing children with tools to find the answers for themselves. Early Childhood Education provides learning through families, peers, educators and the environment. With a range of resources and learning spaces available, children can maximise their learning and development.

We have hardworking and dedicated educators here at Great Beginning Hornsby who understand the importance of their role. They provide children with opportunities to grow, learn and develop in a safe, rich, and positive environment.

Families are a child's first and most important teacher. A collaborative relationship is built through communication and trust. We build strong relationships with our families through open feedback and support their individual needs.
