Our Philosophy

Our kindy community is warm, welcoming and inclusive where there is a strong sense of belonging for all. We place great importance on building relationships that are caring, open, collaborative, respectful and supportive.

We manage our kindergarten with an ongoing cycle of planning and review, engagement of parents and the community, creating a climate for continuous improvement whilst promoting a positive organisational culture.

We want our children to have a strong sense of identity. We are passionate about the importance and power of play and through play children will extend their understanding of language and engage with texts, symbols and numeracy concepts, discover and connect with and act responsibly in the natural and built environments.

Children will be encouraged to understand and recognise social injustice and fairness, embrace diversity using their own ways of expressing themselves that will be celebrated within the group.

Works: varying depending on the

needs of children

In 2011 I was fortunate enough to take up a short term position of Additional Needs Educator, and have been in a permanent role since 2018. Our role is to nurture and grow independent, individual and exceptional little souls. Every day I witness great teaching and meaningful learning, and it’s not always the children. Humour on all levels is my passion - and might I say, I work with the greatest natural comedians on the planet.

I commenced working at the Kindergarten at the beginning of 2018. I have worked in Administration for the past 23 years and I was asked to join the Kindy in a casual role - I jumped at the opportunity as I truly love to be around children and hearing them enjoying themselves as they learn and play. I have primary school age twin daughters who keep me busy. I love being part of the team at the Burleigh Heads Kindy!

I began my journey at Burleigh Heads Kindergarten in January 2007 and I feel blessed to be part of such a great community kindergarten. I have been passionate about working with children since I was young and I began my

journey a long time ago working with young children at the Noosa Heads community Kindergarten in 1984.

I have since worked In Melbourne,

Sydney and Brisbane as an early childhood educator and I have lived on the Gold coast with my family since 1999. Both my daughters have now left school and are beginning their own working lives.

Burleigh Heads Kindergarten is a

very special place I am very proud to be

a part of.
