Community Kids Roxburgh Park Early Education Centre

I began my early childhood education and care career in 2014 and started working at Community Kids Roxburgh Park in 2018. Since starting my career in child care, I have never looked back. Every day, I look forward to walking into the centre and being greeted by amazing smiles and warm hellos from the children. Working with children and helping the community is the greatest opportunity this role offers.

As an educator, I’ve learned the best way to teach our young ones is to let them explore and find their own way of learning. I work to empower and inspire children in a supportive and caring environment, ensuring the learning process is fun and confidence-building.

We have long-serving, multicultural team members who reflect our local community, speaking languages like Arabic, Turkish, Bangla, Sindhi, Hindi, and Punjabi. Many have been with the centre for over nine years. We understand that starting at a new centre can be overwhelming. From the first enquiry, we ensure all your questions are addressed. Many of our team members have children of their own and have gone through the child care and early learning process. We proudly offer support wherever possible, helping families enrol, apply for the Child Care Subsidy, and provide tips for fussy eaters and toilet training.

Our team is here to help. We believe in maintaining respectful relationships based on open communication to encourage family engagement and build a strong sense of belonging.

I look forward to welcoming your family to our Roxburgh Park childcare centre.

I have over a decade of experience as an Early Childhood Teacher and 10 years as an Educational Leader. Throughout my career, I have been passionate about creating a nurturing, safe, and stimulating learning environment, where children feel empowered to explore, take risks, and become independent, lifelong learners.

I believe that all children are capable learners, and my role as an educator is to provide the right environment and support to help them thrive. I design learning spaces that encourage freedom, autonomy, and movement, ensuring children have opportunities to develop social-emotional skills, problem-solving abilities, and confidence in their own capabilities. Understanding that every child learns differently, I apply varied teaching strategies such as scaffolding, modelling, and facilitating to accommodate individual needs and learning styles.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my role is teaching children about body safety, boundaries, and consent in a respectful and age-appropriate way. I take pride in working alongside families to foster a consistent approach between home and school, helping children feel secure and supported in their development. Being part of the early childhood sector has been a transformative, rewarding, and joyful experience, and I feel privileged to play a role in shaping young children’s learning and growth every day.

I am a passionate and dedicated Early Childhood Teacher with over a decade of experience in early childhood education. I hold a Graduate Diploma in Teaching and a Postgraduate Diploma in Education from New Zealand Tertiary College and am a fully registered teacher.

My teaching philosophy is centered on play-based learning, where children are encouraged to explore, create, and develop foundational skills in a nurturing and inclusive environment. I strongly believe that every child is a capable and competent learner, and I aim to provide engaging, hands-on experiences that support their independence, critical thinking, and social-emotional development. My approach focuses on fostering curiosity and confidence, allowing children to take ownership of their learning while feeling safe, valued, and supported.

I also recognise the importance of building strong relationships with families and the wider community, ensuring open communication and collaboration to create consistency between home and early education. By developing trusting relationships, I can better understand each child’s unique needs and tailor my teaching to support their growth.

I am excited to create meaningful learning experiences that inspire children to reach their full potential and develop a lifelong love of learning.
