OUR EDUCATORS Our service is staffed by a professional, dedicated and caring team with a wide range of qualifications and experience. They have been employed because of their academic qualifications, experience and special skills and because of their passion for teaching and their genuine fondness for and commitment to providing quality care for the children. This is important to young children who need to know they are with someone who truly enjoys their company. We recognise the importance of strong, long-term relationships between our educators, families and children and we aim to recruit educators that really enjoy what they do and intend to have a career in child care. All our staff members are encouraged to attend in-service training and other courses relating to child care to further develop their knowledge and skills in caring for children. Regular staff meetings are also held to discuss the children’s progress, program development, policies, upcoming events, activities, etc. As a company we stipulate that all educators must hold a current first aid certificate, current CPR, current asthma and anaphylaxis and hold a current suitability card.

Students and Volunteers We encourage participation of students and volunteers within our centre’s environments. We recognize this is for the benefit of future training and experience to grow the industry. At no time will students or volunteers be left alone with children as they will be under constant supervision by professional educators. Students and volunteers are required to sign a declaration and be fully informed of the centre policies, procedures and practices. All volunteers are required to have a current suitability card provided by the Commission for Children and Young People.
