Experience

Hello! My name is Mel and I am Mum to 4 grown children.  I have been a Home Based Educator for more than 15 years and love what I do.  Our home has a lovely big back yard and the property backs on to a reserve of native trees. 
We regularly attend playgroups and mainly music where the children get to express themselves artistically and have playdates with other Educators and their children supporting wider social interactions and a chance to make some great friends.

Home Environment

Our home has a lovely big back yard and the property backs on to a reserve of native trees. 

Community Involvement

We are within walking distance of parks, the library and other nature walks.  We love getting out and about on foot.

Childcare Philosophy

I believe that children should be allowed the freedom to explore their own play and lead their learning through play.  They have amazing imaginations and inquisitive minds which should be nurtured and encouraged.

This assessment is made when they first started with us and periodically thereafter.
