Our Team
STEPH BURNS
Director
I am passionate about the wellbeing of children and ensure that each child’s needs are individually met. I believe in children being children and allowing them to explore through play-based experiences that also enhance their learning. My philosophy is to create a happy, welcoming environment full of positivity which is a warm friendly place for educators, and our wonderful children and families to feel safe and supported at all times. I think seeing children with a smile on their face when they are engaged in a learning environment is the best experience as an educator to achieve. Children are very unique with different interests, backgrounds and developmental stages and I believe children should be given choices, responsibilities to develop their own learning. My qualifications are Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care. I have been working in childcare since 2015 working with different age groups, I have been the team leader in various rooms, the Education Leader, Assistant Director and Director of Glandore
