OUR STAFF

Each one of us brings something special and different to the team which adds to the diversity of learning we can offer your child. We work well together as we share the same philosophy that children learn best through fun play, being challenged and taking risks. We all show commitment and dedication to ensure children are valued and respected and that families feel welcomed and supported as part of our preschool community. Our preschool has a reputation for providing high quality care and an amazing outdoor environment that the children and families adore! We are so lucky to be set on 5 acres of playground!
