Our Educators
Dedicated, passionate and committed to Wee Wonders’ mission of inspiring children to wonder, many of our staff have been here a long time. Some have been involved in the centre for decades. We’ve had families that have been here for 11 years and all their children have had the same main carers looking after them. It’s this consistent quality in our staff that makes Wee Wonders stand out from the crowd.
Wee Wonders always has qualified Educators, many with degrees, working with good ratios to achieve best outcomes.
Wonderful… Educators
I completed my diploma of Children’s Services in 2003 and then a Bachelor of Early Childhood in 2009. I love working with children. It is both challenging and fulfilling. I believe every child deserves to receive quality and meaningful learning experiences to support their development. I ensure I pay special attention to their strengths and abilities, supporting them to develop more complex skills. I strongly believe that children are capable and competent learners, who need to be supported in their journey to reaching their full potential. I promote multiculturalism and help the children understand and respect similarities and differences among people, so they can contribute to creating a socially cohesive society. I am committed to providing a calm yet stimulating environment to both educators and children, as well as developing a close relationship with the families at Wee Wonders.
I’ve wanted to be a childcare worker for as long as I can remember and I’m so happy that I found this warm loving environment. I started at Wee Wonders as a trainee the day I turned 18. I always really look forward to starting with my new group each year, and caring and teaching them for their first years is so rewarding. I’m always sad to see another group of my kids head off to big school… Can’t we just keep them forever?!
I would like to thank Siobhan, Josie (Nan), and Patrick (Pa) for giving me the opportunity and guidance to help me become the childcare worker I am today. Each year here at Wee Wonders I’ve learnt and grown as a person and I believe I have Siobhan to thank as she’s a wonderful role model. I love working here and working with your children and having a family in my workplace, too.
I enjoy playing Hockey as a sport. I play twice a week and love to be out in the sun when I’m not shopping or driving around in my car…
While working at Wee Wonders I’ve completed a Bachelor of Teaching Early Childhood Education by correspondence at the University of New England.
I’ve been at Wee Wonders for two decades and I’m looking forward to many more wonderful years in the Wee Wonders community.
Before I started high school I knew that I’d love a career involving children. I completed year 12 in 2019 and enrolled in TAFE to do a Cert III in Early Childhood Education and Care. When I was offered to do an apprenticeship at Wee Wonders I was thrilled. I knew it was the type of environment I would love to work in. My time here is filled with great care and support from the staff, beautiful children who are wonderful to be around and meeting lovely parents.
In my spare time I enjoy socialising with my friends and family, going out for lunches, cooking and shopping. My hobby (now obsession) is sewing which started when I spontaneously bought a sewing machine after wanting one for so long. I now can’t stop buying fabrics or cheap clothes and sewing them into something different.
I came to Australia in 2017. I initially came for a one year but found love and married a Chinese Australian!
I’m currently studying my Diploma in Early Childhood Education. In my free time I love to travel, learn new languages and dance. I enjoy spending time outdoors and always like to try new things, especially food and sports.
I’m really loving my time at Wee Wonders and I’m learning a lot from both the children and the other educators.
I have a strong relationship with all my sisters, especially my youngest sister. I’m passionate about netball. I started playing when I was 7 years old and still do today.
I completed my HSC in 2020. Through my last years of school I volunteered as a helper in the IEF (Inclusive Education Faculty) which made me realise how much I love spending time with kids and that inspired me to become an Early Childhood Educator. I enrolled in my Certificate III in Early Childhood and my future goal is to achieve my Diploma.
I love working at Wee Wonders and watching the kids grow up in front of my eyes. I think it’s amazing! And I can’t wait for many more years to come.
