Experience

Hi my name is Jeannette and I love working with children. I offer 30 years of professional experience working with children, including working as a primary school teacher, social worker and In Home Educator. I hold a Bachelor of Education. I  have been a Home Based Educator for 15 years.

Home Environment

My home has nice indoor and outdoor play areas. There is a swing and slide set on a large grassed area and a driveway for biking and scootering. I have a room of resources that I bring out into a comfortable lounge area for play.  I rotate the resources weekly.

Community Involvement

We have a range of art and craft activities available. We also go on outings with our HGK family, venture out to the local library and attend playgroup.

Childcare Philosophy

I believe that Preschool children learn by playing and having fun so that is what we do. We explore, create, read and move. I have a passion for nature so we are often out on adventures at local lakes, reserves and beaches looking at bugs and birds.

With only four children in my care at a time, we form close, loving bonds so children feel safe, loved and secure, this is so important as the basis of brain development at this age. I often have children start with me at 1-2 years and continue until they go to school.My experience as a primary school teacher allows me to start them on their literacy and numeracy journey.
