I have been an Educator for the Department of Education for 16 years. I was a teacher for 7 years, trained in Secondary PDHPE, however I taught across every age and stage and in Primary Schools. I love teaching, and I love education. Toward the end of my 7 years teaching I discovered that the curriculum was too restrictive for my liking, which led me to the Early Years Education and Care sector.

I operated my own Family Daycare business for 8 years, priding myself in innovative and creative play based learning experiences.

At the beginning of 2021, I decided that I needed to branch out to a larger workplace and utilize my leadership qualities on a broader scale. I managed a 39 place Childcare setting for 8 months until I discovered Harmony, which was more aligned with my personal philosophy- and so here I am!

I am passionate about play based learning and setting children up for success in the fast-paced world around them. I believe in Best Practise, quality education and school readiness and I believe this is all achieved through play based, child-led play.

The potential! The setting is beautiful, and physical environments have a critical impact on early years education and care.

Resources- sustainable and pretty- this is so important to me!

Staff- we have some seriously quality educators and I am so excited to see our teams thrive together.
