I have 17 years experience working with children as a primary school teacher (overseas), a teacher at a Russian Community School, language tutor, facilitator of Playgroup and leader of Community Activity Group.

About my facilities

The children in my service enjoy a light-filled indoor play area, ideal for engaging in experiences such as group time, craft, reading, felt board stories, dramatic play, manipulative experiences and much more. The room is well lit, and heated or cooled to maintain a comfortable room temperature at all times. The children sleep in cots and beds with waterproof mattresses.

The service also offers a covered outdoor area, ideal for craft and messy play during inclement weather. The large backyard is a haven for natural exploration, complete with a sandpit, cubbyhouse, chairs and tables for reading and play, a slide and ride on toys to enjoy around the garden’s pathways. We spend lots of time exploring in the backyard, engaging in many sensory and physical experiences. There is convenient, non-restricted parking along the front of the service. My facility is set in a quiet suburban street, yet easily accessible from a main road.
