- Our modern centre’s environment is designed with your child in mind, to stimulate and aid their learning journey

Centre director
Meet Kylie. Kylie is a mother of three and has been working within the Early Learning Education sector for 17 years. She has a Diploma in Early Education along with a Certificate 4 in Training and Assessment, qualifying her ability to teach within the early education sector.
Kylie’s passion for education started at a young age when she would volunteer during the school holidays at a cousin’s day care.
She believes that when children feel safe, secure and supported in their environment, they can form secure attachments and form a sense of belonging. As the leader of the Baby Room, she places utmost importance on creating a nurturing space where children’s routines are consistent with that at home.
Kylie strongly believes that each child is an individual, with unique strengths, skills and abilities and with positive scaffolding, children can thrive and develop a love for learning, right from the word go.
