Meet the Centre Manager – Di Gontier
I have been in the Early Childhood Sector in Australia for over 7 years with an additional 2 years’ experience abroad. I have studied 2 Diplomas in Early Childhood Education and now continuing with my Advanced Diploma in Community Management.
Early Childhood Education is my passion and being part of a child’s learning journey to reach their best outcomes and becoming confident and unique little people that they are. I am committed to building relationships with families being the most important voice in their child’s life whilst working alongside a caring, dedicated and professional team of educators to provide high-quality care and education.
At our service, we strive to achieve an environment that supports a sense of belonging whilst facilitating engaging, creative and exceptional learning experiences for both children and families to have the best experience of education in the foundational years.
We look forward to welcoming you and showing you through our service.
