Being the eldest child and grandchild in my family, I was always the designated babysitter and caring for children just came naturally to me. As my knowledge grew, and after becoming a parent myself, I felt strongly about providing a safe and nurturing environment for children. Creating a \u201chome away from home\u201d has always been something I strive to do for families, the team and the children.<\/p> <p>Throughout my career, I\u2019ve learnt that children are clever, capable and deserving. I love learning about brain development and how best to support children to give them the strongest start in life. I am an advocate for early intervention, knowing the huge difference it can make. Every day is about learning, extending on children\u2019s interests and being in the moment with them. I learn alongside them, support them and advocate for them. For families considering our centre, I explain that children gain so many benefits here, from developing friendships to building confidence and discovering their identity. These are things that can be nurtured in a dedicated early learning setting.<\/p> <p>Our team is wonderfully multicultural, with a variety of cultures, ages and qualifications represented. This diversity helps us all to grow, learn new things and build meaningful, respectful relationships with people from different walks of life. As the centre manager, I make it a priority to support families by being approachable and always available for a chat. I share real-life experiences so parents know they\u2019re not alone in their journey, and I offer support by listening, sharing resources, or connecting them with local services. We also welcome families into the centre daily, host special events, and make these inclusive, from adapting food we share to creating spaces for families to connect. We also support allied health services visiting if needed, ensuring we provide the right environment for children and families to thrive.<\/p> <p>I look forward to welcoming your family to our Geelong early learning community.<\/p> <p><\/p>                                                    <\/div>\n                                                                                                            <a href=\"#\" class=\"g8-centre-managers__slide__read-more\"><span>Read <span\n                                                                    class=\"more\">more<\/span><span class=\"less\">less<\/span><\/span><\/a>\n                                                                                                                                                <\/div>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                                                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"g8-slider-pagination-container\">\n                                <div class=\"g8-centre-managers__pagination g8-slider-pagination\"><\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                            \n                                                <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-g8-star-two\"><\/i>\n                        <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-g8-three-lines\"><\/i>\n                        <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-g8-book\"><\/i>\n                        <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-g8-music\"><\/i>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n    <section id=\"g8-icon-card_8_66fb317bc7981\" class=\"g8-icon-card  \">\n        <div class=\"g8-container\">\n            <div class=\"g8-row\">\n                <div class=\"g8-col\">\n                    <div class=\"g8-icon-card__container g8-block-container\">\n                        <div class=\"g8-icon-card__header g8-block-header\">\n                                                            <h2 class=\"g8-icon-card__title\">Our innovative early learning programs<\/h2>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                                            <div class=\"g8-icon-card__cards swiper\">\n                                <div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n                                                                            <div\n                                            class=\"g8-icon-card__card swiper-slide lg-one-fourth\">\n                                            <div class=\"g8-icon-card__card__icon-container\">\n                                                <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-leaf\"><\/i>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                            <h4 class=\"g8-icon-card__card__title\">Sustainability<\/h4>\n                                            <p class=\"g8-icon-card__card__description\">We have fruit and veggie gardens and a recycling station that families and educators are encouraged to contribute to.

Khushbu always takes the time to tell me what our daughter&#039;s favourite toys have been, who she&#039;s enjoyed playing with and anything cool she did during the day. I also love the daily photos and updates.

If the centre is the right fit and a place is available, you\u2019ll receive an enrolment offer for your child. If a place is not currently available in your child\u2019s age group, we can add your child to the waitlist and keep you updated.<\/p>\n<p>To finalise your enrolment, you\u2019ll complete an online enrolment form through a secure link sent by our Family Support Team. You\u2019ll also need to provide key details and documents, including your child\u2019s birth certificate, Medicare details, immunisation history statement and, if eligible, your Child Care Subsidy details.<\/p>\n<p>Before your child\u2019s first day, you may be invited to attend a Stay and Play session. This gives your child time to explore the centre, meet their educators, and start feeling comfortable in their new environment. Once your paperwork is complete, your child is ready to start their early learning journey with us.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/family-information\/how-to-enrol\">Read our step-by-step guide on how to enrol here.<\/a><\/p>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                                                    <div class=\"g8-accordion__item accordion-item\">\n                                        <h2 class=\"g8-accordion__item__header accordion-header\">\n                                            <button class=\"g8-accordion__item__header__button accordion-button collapsed\"\n                                                type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\"\n                                                data-bs-target=\"#flush-collapse-g8-accordion_24_66fb317bc7997-2\"\n                                                aria-expanded=\"false\"\n                                                aria-controls=\"flush-collapse-g8-accordion_24_66fb317bc7997-2\">\n                                                <span\n                                                    class=\"g8-accordion__item__title\">What can I do to help my child prepare for starting care?<\/span>\n                                                <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-alt-arrow-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n                                            <\/button>\n                                        <\/h2>\n                                        <div id=\"flush-collapse-g8-accordion_24_66fb317bc7997-2\"\n                                            class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\"\n                                            data-bs-parent=\"#g8-accordion_24_66fb317bc7997-items\">\n                                            <div class=\"g8-accordion__item__content g8-block-wysiwyg\">\n                                                <p>Starting child care is a big milestone, and a little preparation can help your child feel more comfortable and confident.<\/p>\n<p>Before your child\u2019s first day, you can talk positively about their new centre, explain what their day might look like, and practise small routines such as packing their bag, saying goodbye, washing hands and sitting down for meals.
