Director
Bachelor of Education (Birth to 5 years)
Commenced employment at Urunga Community Preschool in 2019.
​
​Philosophy:
I believe that in early childhood education and care that we are privileged to be with children and be a part of their life journeys.  I know that great early childhood experiences can have profound effects on a child's future success and well being.  I aim to instill in children a sense of themselves as members of society and the community, and to nurture their precious childhood years in order that they make marvellous memories.
