Centre Manager - Community Kids Bangor

"My teaching philosophy is to provide enriched and well-balanced experiences where children's interests are enhanced."

My early childhood education and care career began in 2012 and I have been working at Community Kids Bangor ever since. I hold a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education, which I achieved in 2014. I then went on to complete my Diploma of Early Childhood Education & Care in 2017. I have nine years of experience working in various capacities in Early Education. I have extensive experience working with children, including four years of experience in the Assistant Centre Manager role, which has led me to take on the Centre Manager's role.  

It was always my childhood dream to be a "Kindy Teacher". I always had my heart set on working with children. Over my many years in the early childhood education and care, I have learned that every child is unique. This has influenced my teaching style to ensure I am ever-evolving and adapting to the children's many varying needs and interests in my care.  

My teaching philosophy is to provide enriched and well-balanced experiences where children's interests are enhanced. Through engaging setups and a curriculum driven by children's interest, we allow children to be capable learners. Here at our child care and early education centre, we are empowering children to foster positive learning skills and a passion for further discoveries. 

At Community Kids Bangor child care and early education centre, we understand that learning is a lifelong process. We have a team of qualified, friendly, experienced and passionate educators, some of whom have been at the centre for many years. They work with families of the community to provide secure, happy and stimulating learning environments where all children can thrive. We take pride in knowing all our educators hold strong relationships with the children and families at our Centre. Our Pre-school Program is led by a qualified Early Childhood Teacher and ensures your child is given the best start possible before embarking on their Primary School Journey.   

Families are leaving their most precious thing in the world with us. We understand how hard that can be for families, which is why we offer as many transition sessions as needed for children that are just starting with us. We provide a personal tour for families, not rushing them and allowing them time to ask questions. I assist with all aspects of enrolling at the Centre: filling in forms, understanding CCS & Xplor etc. Our child care centre have an open-door policy where families feel comfortable coming and chatting with me about anything.
