I’m a proud Gubbi Gubbi woman, embracing and learning my culture is an integral component in my teaching style and collaborative relationships with children and families.

Early childhood is a pivotal developmental time for children, my goal is to ensure all children have the opportunity to participate and develop in a safe and supportive environment, where they are able to be strong and steadfast in their culture and cultural learnings. I pride myself on developing and maintaining strong reciprocal relationships with all children and families. Striving for the best outcomes for children and families.

I have been in the Early Learning Sector for 25 years so have vast experience in the sector.

Qualification: Diploma in Children’s Services

I have been involved in the Early Childhood Sector for over eleven and a half years, all of which have been with Sesame Lane. I commenced as a very passionate trainee and progressed through to the role of Educational Leader and 2IC. I am truly grateful for our wonderful families allowing me the opportunity to play a major role in their children’s early development years. My heart melts when I walk into the rooms to be greeted with big smiles and warm hugs from our Happy Healthy Learners each and every day.

I hold a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and my Bachelor of Early Education. My career in Early Childhood Education began in 2006, and over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with children across various age groups. Each stage of development has brought its own joy and fascination as I’ve watched extraordinary and unique individuals learn, explore their world, and discover their place within their communities.

In 2021, I uncovered a new passion for working with kindergarten-aged children, which inspired me to pursue further studies to deepen my knowledge and skills as an Early Childhood Teacher. Each day brings moments of pride and fulfillment, especially when I see children gain confidence, take risks, and develop meaningful strategies to express themselves and regulate their emotions. Supporting them in believing in their own potential is a remarkable and cherished part of my role.

Qualification: Diploma in Children’s Services

It was always a goal of mine to work with Sesame Lane ever since my own three children attended one of the services many years ago and had such a wonderful experience.

I have been in the Early Childhood Profession for 12 years and have been employed at the Banyan Street Service for the last six years.

What I love the most and find the most rewarding is working with the children and watching them grow and learn in a positive, safe and fun environment, the endless smiles and laughs as we all learn together.

Qualification: Diploma of Early Childhood Education

Within my role, I have been lucky enough to work across all age groups; I love watching the children grow each and every day while achieving both small and big milestones.

Interactions with children are important to me, there is no stopping me from getting covered in paint and goop and I’m blessed to share my days with the children having fun!

On the weekend you will find me heading to the beach, camping or enjoying 4WD adventures.

Qualification: Advanced Diploam in Childcare

I believe every child should be trated and respected for their individuality so they can learn and grow at their own pace, in their own time. I also belive it’s important to create a safe and secure environment where positive guidance and encouragement supports each child’s developement  and independence.

I have been working in the Childcare & Early Learning Sector for 27 years. My 3 wonderful children attended Sesame Lane Narangba Banyan Street and their early years here were so lovely to be a part of as a parent I applied for a position with Sesame Lane.

I’m a family orientated person and love nothing more than a catch up and BBQ on the weekends (but shopping is a close second!). I can’t wait to meet you and your little one as they start their learning journey with us at Banyan Street.

My career in childcare began after I started my own family and sought to return to the workforce. What I discovered was one of the most rewarding careers possible. I hold a diploma of children’s services and have work for Sesame Lane since 2005.

In the 15 years since I began working in the childcare industry I have gained experience working with children of all ages and had the pleasure of being an integral part of their young lives. It is my vision for the children in my care to be confident, inquisitive learning with a strong sense of self and connectedness to the people and world around them.
