Summary
Hi, my name is Jacquie and as well as being a mother of two beautiful children, I am a passionate Early Childhood Teacher. I have also gained invaluable insights from the perspective of a parent since becoming a mum myself. I believe this positions me to support and champion the role of parents as the child's first teacher. I love to work in a collaborative and energetic team of passionate educators, who value the first five years as crucial in a child's future learning. I value open and transparent communication between myself and families, and work in partnership to meet their children's individual needs and goals. I have worked as educational leader at a previous service and found this role incredibly rewarding. I am looking for a role that would allow flexibility for myself and my young family, while also gaining further career development in the future.
