Hello Families,

It is with great pleasure that I introduce myself as Kelly, the Assistant Director at My School Child Care and Kindergarten in Mt Cotton.

Building this sense of trust and security in our centre is a priority in my role. I strive to create a nurturing and supportive environment where each child feels valued, respected, and cherished.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is getting to know the families and all the children in our care.

At My School Child Care & Kindergarten Mt Cotton, we are proud to have Breannon Mcdevitt (Brea) on our team of dedicated early childhood educators. With eight years of experience in child care, Brea has developed a strong passion for working with children and helping them grow.

Brea strongly believes in building a collaborative relationship with the families of the children she works with. She understands that every child is unique, and by working together as a team, they can create the best possible environment for the child‘s growth and development. Brea also understands the importance of paying attention to even the smallest details in a child’s life, such as their choice of footwear, to make them feel valued and heard.

As a mother of two, Brea brings a wealth of personal experience to her work. She is a local to the Redlands area, which means that she has a deep understanding of the local community. Brea loves the beach and is always ready to embark on new adventures, which makes her a perfect fit for our centre’s vibrant and energetic atmosphere.

I am delighted to introduce myself. My name is Fiona Smith, and I have been fortunate enough to embark on a fulfilling journey in the field of child care. My passion for teaching and guiding children started when I left school and began working as a Kindergarten Assistant. It was during this time that I discovered my love for supporting young minds and nurturing their curiosity to learn and grow.

After gaining invaluable experience in the kindergarten setting, I transitioned to a long daycare service, where I had the opportunity to work with children of various age groups. It was a fulfilling experience to witness the unique development and learning journeys of each child. However, life took an unexpected turn when I became a mother to three beautiful children of my own.

Embracing the joys of motherhood, I took the opportunity to stay home and focus on my family. During this time, I discovered a newfound passion for creating hair accessories and jewelry for my daughters. With the support and encouragement of my loved ones, I was able to turn this passion into a small business, opening a shop in a rural town. It was an enriching experience that allowed me to channel my creativity and entrepreneurship.

A few years ago, my husband and I made the decision to relocate to the Redlands, a place we instantly fell in love with. The proximity to the water and the natural beauty of the area have brought us much joy. In our spare time, we enjoy fishing and camping, immersing ourselves in nature’s wonders and creating lasting memories as a family.

In terms of my qualifications, I hold a Diploma in Child Care, which has equipped me with a strong foundation in understanding child development and best practices in early childhood education. However, my thirst for knowledge and desire to make a difference in the lives of children led me to pursue further studies. Currently, I am eagerly preparing to embark on my Bachelor’s in Education - Kindergarten Teacher, which will further enhance my skills and expertise in providing quality education and care.

This year, I have the privilege of serving as a Lead Educator in the Kindergarten room at My School Child Care & Kindergarten - Mt Cotton. It is a role that fills me with passion and dedication. There is nothing more rewarding than witnessing the "twinkle" in a child’s eyes when they grasp a new concept or achieve a milestone. It is in those moments that I am reminded of the immense joy and privilege of being an educator.

As an educator, I believe in fostering a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can freely explore, imagine, and create. I take great delight in observing children at play, listening to their imaginative stories, and witnessing the sparks of curiosity and wonder that ignite their learning journey.

Every child is unique, and I am committed to tailoring my approach to meet their individual needs, interests, and learning styles. I strive to create a warm and inclusive classroom atmosphere where children feel safe, valued, and empowered to express themselves.

I firmly believe that education is a collaborative effort between educators, families, and the wider community. I value open and honest communication with families, as their insights and involvement are crucial in supporting each child’s growth and development. Together, we can create a strong foundation for their future success.

I am thrilled to be a part of the vibrant community at My School Child Care & Kindergarten - Mt Cotton. It is a place where children’s potential is nurtured, and their love for learning is ignited. I am eager to collaborate with my fellow educators, families, and the wider community to create a positive and inspiring educational journey for all children under our care.

In conclusion, I am genuinely passionate about teaching and dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of children of all ages. Witnessing their growth, development, and achievements brings me immeasurable joy and fulfillment.

When I am not at work, I love spending my time with my family, making happy memories, and enjoying the simple pleasures of life, such as visiting the beach or soaking up the sunshine in a park.

I have been working in the child care industry for seven blissful years, during which I have learned so much and gained a profound appreciation for early childhood education. My passion for education was ignited when I enrolled my son in kindergarten and witnessed the transformation that occurred in him. As a result, I decided to pursue a career in education, and I am currently studying for a Bachelor of Primary Education.

It is essential for us as educators to recognize and understand each child’s individual needs so that we can provide the necessary support and guidance to help them thrive. Every child deserves access to high-quality education and care, which I strive to deliver to all the children I work with.

I believe that the childcare environment should be a second home for the children, where they feel safe, secure, and supported while discovering and developing their identity and learning journey. Family input and communication are fundamental in creating an environment that nurtures children‘s growth, and as a mother, I understand and appreciate the vital role that family plays in their child’s development.

Hello everyone,

I am delighted to introduce myself as Jessica Hutton, a relief educator at My School Child Care and Kindergarten. With 15 years of experience in the field of childcare, I have had the privilege of working in various roles and gaining a wealth of knowledge and skills along the way. I hold a diploma in children’s services, which has further deepened my understanding of early childhood development and education.

Throughout my career, I have had the pleasure of working with children across all age groups. Each age group brings its own unique joys and challenges, and I have found immense fulfillment in being a part of their growth and development. As a relief educator, I have the opportunity to work in different rooms within the center, allowing me to build connections with a wide range of children and families. I find great joy in getting to know each child on an individual level, spending one-on-one time with them to foster strong relationships and deepen our bonds.

My approach to early childhood education is inspired by the renowned theorist Lev Vygotsky. Vygotsky‘s theories emphasize the importance of social interaction and scaffolding in a child’s learning and development. I believe in creating a nurturing and stimulating environment where children feel supported and encouraged to explore, discover, and grow. By providing appropriate guidance and scaffolding, I aim to empower children to reach their full potential and become active participants in their own learning journey.

At My School Child Care and Kindergarten, we are committed to providing a holistic and inclusive learning experience for every child. We value the unique strengths, interests, and abilities of each child, and we strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and respected. As a relief educator, I am dedicated to upholding these principles and contributing to the positive and supportive atmosphere within our center.

I am excited to be a part of the My School team and to work alongside such dedicated educators and families. Together, we will continue to create a nurturing and inspiring environment where children can flourish and thrive.

Hello,

With nearly two decades of experience, I’ve served as a childcare educator, working as a Kindergarten teacher and teacher aide at the Redlands Special School and Thornlands State School. My personal journey involves caring for my own special needs daughter, who is nonverbal and uses a wheelchair, and having a son on the ASD spectrum. These personal experiences drive my passion for helping and supporting children in these unique areas.

In my approach, I strongly believe in cultivating strong and respectful relationships with children and their families. This enables them to feel safe, fostering a supportive learning environment that gives them a profound sense of belonging and connectedness.

I strive to create environments that are not only educational but also fun, inspiring wonder and fostering a love for learning.

I value each child as an individual and strive to meet their unique needs and interests.
