"I have a Bachelor of Education (0-5 years) and over 19 years’ experience as an Early Childhood Teacher. From the moment I walked into Kurnell Preschool it felt like home, this is the feeling we want all children and families to feel as they enter our service. I believe in creating a safe and nurturing environment where children are supported, and their voices are heard. My passion is empowering children to be confident and inquisitive learners who are given opportunities to learn through play and collaboration with others. I believe in the importance of connecting with nature and the community which is embedded into the centre’s philosophy, program and culture."
