The Bardo Road Kindergarten Team

• Amy, Owner

  

  I believe that the Early Childhood years are vital in promoting a young child’s development and in forming the attitudes and skills that will serve them throughout their lives. With this, I aim to be a Educator who will provide an homely environment and program that is not only stimulating and challenging, but also provides the children with a warm and supportive atmosphere which the children can grow and learn, be inclusive of all and experiment on building their strengths at their own pace.

  My name is Sarah and I have been working in early childhood for the last 25 years.

  I aim to provide a warm, safe, caring, stimulating environment that meets the developmental needs of all children. I seek to know each child based on observations and interaction and provide experiences that meet each child's unique interests and development. I believe that play is essential to young children's learning and all children should be given time to grow, to try and experience success so they are able to face the future challenges, build on their strengths and except their individual limitation without fear of failure or loss of self-esteem.

  Each family is different and unique, I will be sensitive to an array of circumstances, parenting styles, beliefs, families living situation, family's cultures, family structures and be inclusive of all family ethnicity and additional needs.

  I will provide a high quality Early Childhood Program and an environment which will promote and support the children's Physical, Social, Emotional and Cognitive development.

  My name is Grace, and since beginning my journey in childcare in 2010 with a Certificate III, I've progressed to a Diploma and am currently pursuing my Bachelor of Early Childhood Teaching (ECT). With over a decade of experience, I’ve witnessed firsthand how early childhood education can truly shape young lives, their development and future success and I am passionate about making a difference.

We thrive in a collaborative environment where we share ideas, inspire one another, and continuously elevate our practices to ensure continuous improvement within our team to achieve the best outcomes for our children. I am passionate about fostering Strong relationships with families and the community, which is vital for a child’s growth and well-being.

My goal as an educator is to provide a positive, safe, and stimulating environment where every child can express themselves, explore their interests, and cultivate a lifelong love for learning.

• Alex , Trainee Cert III Educator

  

  My name is Alex and I have been working in childcare for 1 year now. I aim to provide a supportive and safe environment that will help children grow and express themselves freely. I believe children are able to grow, learn and develop through play-based learning. I aim to provide a safe and welcoming environment for all children, their families, and the community. Children should be given the opportunity to explore different aspects of learning and given individualised activities for each child’s interests and needs. I believe Child Care should be a place where children play, smile, and have fun to develop their relationships and sense of belonging.

• Ruby, Cert III Educator

  

  Hi my name is Ruby and I have been working in childcare since 2022 when I started my Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care. As an educator I aim to provide an environment that allows children to grow and express themselves in a number of ways, giving them a sense of belonging. I believe that kindy gibes children the ability and confidence to emotionally and socially grow as well as, play freely and creatively, helping them develop the skills to assist them in their preparation for school and life to come. At kindy we explore many different topics and investigate deeper into children’s learning and interests throughout the year. I believe it is Important to form relationships with families so that there is the ability to communicate and collaboratively support their children to meet their needs.
