Meet the Centre Manager – Tania Simpson
I have been involved in the Early Childhood Education and Care sector since 2002 and I hold a Bachelor of Early Childhood degree.
I am passionate about the fact that we never stop learning, so I am an avid reader and love to research a variety of philosophies and theories relating to early childhood, I then take the parts that resonate with me and use them in my everyday life and practices with children.
Our team are dedicated to provide children the best possible opportunities to learn and grow, by having secure and stable relationships with their educators provides the foundations of a child’s ability to feel confident in their surroundings and from this point learning happens.
We encourage you to book a tour and have a look at the centre to talk to us about our programs and what we have to offer your family.
