Summary

I am a Bachelor qualified Kindergarten teacher with over 30 years teaching experience. I am a committed and hard working teacher who values the relationships built with both the children and the families at the heart of my programs. I strive to provide quality programs around the children I work with. Programs that acknowledge and reflect the children's interests and skills. A program rich in fun that inspires the children to build and create, imagine and explore, a program that is flexible and program that supports and encourages the children to be curious and wanting more! I want to create an environment that fosters the joy of play, a place where children want to come back too, a place where children can be children.

Additional Information

I was and have only taught in community-based kindergartens. I have always provided high-quality kindergarten programs in line with the current ELYF and the NQS. I have planned, documented, reported and liaised with other staff, committee, and other professionals and communicated with parents on a day-to-day basis. I provide leadership while working as a member of a cooperative team in order to provide a developmentally appropriate educational program. I operate in a professional manner at all times and to ensure the kindergarten maintains and follows guidelines and policies as directed by the appropriate governing bodies, i.e. committee of management, cluster management, and the department of human services. I attend staff meetings and professional training days as required.
