West Ryde Early Learning Centre

I began my career in early learning in 2008 and joined the team at West Ryde Early Learning Centre in 2024. Throughout my career, I have adopted a holistic approach that values and respects each child’s uniqueness and individuality. A motto I hold close to my heart is “Today’s children are tomorrow’s leaders.”

I view each child as capable and resourceful, believing that there are endless opportunities for growth and development. Through a play-based approach, children can resource their own learning and make sense of the world around them. Our role as educators is to be attuned to each child’s strengths, interests, and emerging skills, setting up provocations that promote curiosity, inquiry, and learning.

Early childhood education services are purpose-built to provide children with optimal opportunities to engage in educational programs. Our well-trained educators, passionate about supporting children’s growth, are guided by the Early Years Learning Framework to ensure that during a child’s critical period of brain development, scaffolding and supporting education and learning are at the forefront of daily practice.

At West Ryde Early Learning Centre, we have a diverse team of experienced and qualified educators, including three Bachelor-qualified Early Childhood Teachers who support our educational programs. Many of our educators have been part of our family for over 10 years. We prioritise building strong relationships with families through open, honest communication. I believe in the power of face-to-face conversations and ensure any concerns are addressed promptly and efficiently, making all families feel valued and respected within our service.

I look forward to welcoming you to our West Ryde early education centre.

As an Early Childhood Teacher, I am deeply committed to fostering a lifelong love of learning in young children by encouraging creativity, curiosity, and play. I believe in creating an inclusive, welcoming environment where each child feels a sense of belonging and is empowered to explore their interests and ideas.

Recognising the importance of partnership, I work closely with families and colleagues to understand each child’s unique background, strengths, and needs. Together, we create enriching experiences that not only nurture confidence and independence but also support the holistic development of every child, helping them build essential social, emotional, and cognitive skills for future success.

With 18 years of experience in early childhood education, I am a dedicated Early Childhood Teacher who thrives on supporting children’s learning and development. My passion lies in creating nurturing environments where children feel safe, respected, and inspired to explore and grow.

I believe that building respectful, trusting relationships with each child is essential, as it allows me to understand their unique personalities and learning styles. I am committed to working collaboratively with families, valuing their insights and perspectives, so that together we can support each child in becoming a competent, positive, and confident learner prepared for the world ahead.

Twelve years ago, I arrived in Australia as a student, embarking on a journey that led me to a career in Early Childhood Teaching. Shortly after graduating, I discovered my true calling in this field, falling in love with the daily joy of meeting and supporting young children and witnessing their growth.

As an Early Childhood Teacher, I firmly believe that strong, trusting relationships are the foundation of effective learning. Building these connections with each child allows me to understand and respond to their unique needs, empowering them to reach their full potential. I am passionate about crafting innovative and engaging learning environments that stimulate curiosity, creativity, and resilience in children. Working closely with families and collaborating with fellow educators, I strive to support each child’s individual developmental journey, ensuring they feel valued, supported, and excited to learn each day.
