  • Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care
“I believe in giving children the freedom of choice to make decisions and direct their own learning, fostering their independence and confidence. “

I’ve been working in early learning since 2013, the same year I joined Community Kids Morley. My journey began as an assistant educator, and I’ve had the opportunity to grow into roles such as Room Leader and Assistant Centre Manager before becoming the Centre Manager.

I was drawn to early education because I wanted to be part of the crucial early years of children’s lives, where they develop a love for learning and build foundational skills. I particularly love working collaboratively with families and the community to provide the best possible care and education that helps children thrive. Through my experience, I’ve learned that children learn best when they feel secure, trusted, and respected in their environment. I believe in giving children the freedom of choice to make decisions and direct their own learning, fostering their independence and confidence. My approach is centered around creating a nurturing, engaging, and supportive environment where each child feels valued and inspired to reach their full potential.

At Community Kids Morley, we create programs that support children’s physical, emotional, social, and cognitive growth through play, exploration, and guided learning experiences. These experiences provide a balanced approach that is often more structured and diverse than what might be possible in a home setting. Our kindergarten program focuses on school readiness, helping children transition smoothly into formal schooling by introducing them to classroom routines and group learning experiences.

Our team at Community Kids Morley is passionate about supporting and nurturing young children. Many of our educators are Diploma-qualified and have been with the centre for a long time. We are proud of our culturally diverse team, which allows us to support families and children from various backgrounds effectively. I believe in building strong, supportive relationships with families by approaching each one with respect and empathy, valuing their unique perspectives and cultural backgrounds. We maintain open, honest, and regular communication, and we encourage families to be actively involved in their child’s learning journey.

I look forward to welcoming your family to our Morley early education centre, so you could experience how we foster a community where every child can flourish.

Our innovative early learning programs

At our early learning centre in Morley, our experienced educators and teachers continually seek innovative ways to enrich your child’s education. Guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, we offer a variety of engaging and diverse learning experiences, including:

Sustainability

We open your child’s mind to the outdoors, raising their awareness of the environment and the importance of their role in protecting it. By engaging them in hands-on activities, we foster a sense of responsibility and appreciation for nature.

Community engagement

We go on community outings to enrich children’s experiences and foster community connections. We also host visits from local community members, providing diverse and engaging learning opportunities.

Music and movement

Our evidence-based Rhythm and Movement for Self-Regulation (RAMSR) program is designed to develop fundamental skills that help support children’s self-regulation, memory, and concentration. It is an innovative approach to holistic learning, development and well-being in early childhood.

STEM

We encourage your child to ask questions, experiment, and problem-solve, all while engaging their natural curiosity. By fostering this inquisitive mindset, we help them develop critical thinking skills and a deeper understanding of the world around them.

We’re all about healthy, nutritious eating

At our Morley early learning centre, we proudly offer a multicultural menu that is carefully curated to meet the diverse tastes and dietary needs of our children, providing breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, and a late snack. Our menu operates on a four-week cycle and is thoughtfully reviewed and updated in both summer and winter to incorporate seasonal ingredients and fresh ideas. Families are actively invited to participate in the creation of new menus, ensuring a collaborative and inclusive approach to our meal planning. We cater to all dietary requirements, including vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free options, ensuring that every child enjoys nutritious and delicious meals tailored to their specific needs.

Our Family Support Team will add your child’s name to our waitlist if one of our childcare centres is currently full in your child’s age group. We will then contact you as soon as a place becomes available.

We also do monthly check-ins to review availability, and you will receive a text message confirming whether you’re still happy to remain on the waitlist each month. If you would like an update at any point, you’re welcome to reach out on our Web Chat or give us a call.

It’s common for a child to experience separation anxiety when they first start child care. When you’re getting ready to start child care, you can help your child overcome anxieties by visiting the child care service together for a Stay and Play session, and easing into new routines at home.

Most of our child care and early education centres offer nappies and wipes, sunscreen and hats, as well as nutritious meals prepared by our in-house cook. Some centres also provide sheets and formula, so you may not need to remember to pack them.

For nursery children, be sure to bring: nappy rash cream, dummies, bottles and teats, comfort toys or blankets, three spare outfits and spare socks.

For toddlers and preschool or kindergarten-aged children, it’s best to bring: spare underwear, water bottle or sippy cup, sun hat, closed-toe shoes, two spare outfits and spare socks.

Plus, anything else your individual child may need, such as breast milk, a sleeping bag, a comforter or medication.

It’s best to speak to your centre of choice for a full list of everything included.

Community Kids uses Xplor Home as our family communication app. It is the best and easiest way to keep track of your child’s day.

After you enrol your child with the centre, you can utilise Xplor Home to book child care days, manage your account, receive the photographs that capture your child’s learning, learn about your child’s progress, as well as keep up-to-date with upcoming centre events and important information.

If your child shows signs of an infectious illness when they arrive at the centre or becomes sick during the day, you may be notified that you need to make alternative arrangements or pick up your child from the centre and keep them home until they are no longer infectious. While we understand that this can be inconvenient, Community Kids is committed to maintaining a healthy environment and reducing the risk of infection for all children.

Under the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), families are allowed 42 absence days per child, per financial year. These can be taken for any reason, including public holidays and when children are sick, without requiring families to provide documentation.
