Centre Manager - Greenwood Penrith

“I am most passionate about creating a warm and nurturing environment where parents feel comfortable leaving their children each day. ”

I began my career in early childhood education 5 years ago where I studied my Certificate III and Diploma together. I worked all the way up from a room assistant to Room Leader, Educational Leader and 2IC, Assistant Centre Manager then Centre Manager. My favourite part about this job is being able to watch the children explore and experiment with the environment as capable learners and being part of the journey as they grow and learn with their peers and educators.

I am most passionate about creating a warm and nurturing environment where parents feel comfortable leaving their children each day. We are creating the future and potentially the next generation of leaders to lead our world. 

Our team at Greenwood Penrith are passionate, qualified educators who strive to make the centre homely and welcoming for all children and their families. I would like to tell parents that they aren’t just walking into a childcare centre – they are in fact walking into a family. Every child and family member that comes through our door is welcomed into this family. We strive to be warm and nurturing where all children are encouraged to grow and explore while we work collaboratively together with families to enrich every child’s life.
