Centre Manager - Great Beginnings Parmelia

“I have been dedicated to empowering young minds to explore, learn and grow in a safe and loving space.”

My journey in early learning started in 2018. I joined the team at Great Beginnings Parmelia in 2023. I originally started my career in the Community Services sector and worked in a variety of roles in the past. I hold a Diploma in Early Childhood Education. 

As a youth worker in the past, I have been assisting children and families from different cultural backgrounds. Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to empowering young minds to explore, learn and grow in a safe and loving space. I strongly believe that every child deserves the best possible start in life. I view children as capable learners and focus on each child's unique strengths and interests. I enjoy nurturing their natural curiosity and guiding them towards reaching their full potential. 

Early childhood education is beneficial for children as the first five years are crucial. Children's brains develop connections faster in the first five years than at any other time in their lives. This is the time when children build their foundation for learning, and they will be able to develop important skills in a social environment, through positive relationships with educators and peers.

We have a longstanding team here at Great Beginnings Parmelia. Our educators create engaging and inspiring learning experiences that build the foundation for a lifelong love of learning. 

I welcome families’ feedback, ideas and suggestions. Through collaboration, we can truly make a difference in the lives of our children.
