Mary Thomasson

Mary Thomasson

Early Childhood Teacher

About Me ~ Mary

Hello, I’m Mary, an experienced Early Childhood Teacher with 16 years in the profession. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working in various positions within Early Education, including Nominated Supervisor. However, my true passion lies in early childhood education. This is my third year as a Kindergarten Teacher, and I look forward to many more rewarding years in this role.

In 2023, I achieved a significant milestone by graduating with my Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood and Primary) and becoming a provisionally registered teacher in Queensland. I am excited to bring my skills, knowledge, and enthusiasm to My School Child Care & Kindergarten - Park Avenue, Rockhampton, where I am dedicated to supporting children’s development, fostering their love of learning, and helping them build a strong foundation for their future.

My Teaching Philosophy
At My School Child Care & Kindergarten, I strongly believe in creating secure, respectful, and reciprocal relationships with each child. These connections are fundamental for children to feel safe and develop a sense of belonging, which motivates their love for attending Kindergarten every day.

I am passionate about designing inspiring and challenging learning environments, both indoors and outdoors, that cater to each child’s unique strengths, interests, and needs. Using open-ended loose parts in my teaching, I provide children with endless opportunities to engage, experiment, and investigate. This approach encourages creativity, imagination, and problem-solving, focusing on the process of learning rather than the product.

Embracing Diversity and Culture
In my teaching, I strive to embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into my planning, learning environments, and pedagogy. I believe it is essential to honour every Australian child’s right to learn about the rich histories, knowledge systems, cultures, and languages of Australia’s First Nations peoples.

Child-Centred Learning
Understanding that every child has different intrinsic motivations, I ensure they have the autonomy to choose where and how they want to learn. My approach prioritises high-quality, innovative, and play-based learning, incorporating opportunities for children to take risks, develop independence, and build essential life skills. I view each child as capable, competent, and full of potential.

Through my work, I advocate for children’s rights, teaching them to recognise and voice their own needs while respecting others. I am committed to fostering independence and agency in every child, helping them gain confidence and skills that will serve them throughout their lives.

Building Connections
At My School Child Care & Kindergarten - Park Avenue, Rockhampton, I recognise the importance of building strong connections with children and their families. Relationships are the foundation of successful learning experiences, and I take the time to understand each child’s individuality. By differentiating my teaching methods, I ensure that every child feels included and supported, celebrating the diversity that makes each of us unique.

I also model positive relationships, helping children navigate friendships and resolve conflicts effectively. My goal is to create a nurturing, inclusive space where every child can flourish emotionally, socially, and academically.

Looking Forward
It is an honour to be part of your child’s early learning journey. I am excited to meet all the wonderful children and families at our centre and to work together to create a joyful, enriching experience for your child. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about our centre, please feel free to reach out to me or stop by for a visit.

Jacinta Hardiman

Early Childhood Educator

Hi, my name is Jacinta, and I am proud to be an Early Childhood Educator at My School Child Care & Kindergarten in Park Avenue, Rockhampton. I am deeply passionate about providing the best possible education and care for every child. I believe that each child is unique, with their own strengths, interests, skills, abilities, and knowledge. As an educator, it is my responsibility to cherish, value, and help develop these qualities to their fullest potential. 🌱

My Approach to Education 🎓
As an educator, I am dedicated to creating a safe, secure, and supportive environment where children feel empowered to explore, learn, and grow. I encourage and support children to seek, share, and develop innovative ideas, thoughts, questions, and solutions both independently and with others. This approach helps foster their social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development, allowing them to become confident, curious, and engaged learners.

I strongly believe that every child should have the opportunity to reach their full potential, and I am committed to helping them achieve that through meaningful learning experiences. 📚✨

The Importance of Collaboration 🤝
I firmly believe that strong partnerships with families and fellow educators are essential in supporting each child’s individual needs. By working closely with parents and families, I aim to ensure that we meet the unique needs and interests of every child. Together, we can create a consistent and nurturing environment that allows children to flourish, both at school and at home.

I am always open to conversations with families to ensure we provide the best possible care and education for your child. 🏡❤️

My Belief in Play-Based Learning 🎨
Play is at the heart of how I approach early childhood education. I incorporate play-based learning into daily activities because it nurtures creativity, imagination, and problem-solving skills. I find that children thrive when learning is engaging and fun, and play provides the perfect platform for them to develop essential skills naturally.

By making learning enjoyable and playful, I believe children can grow into resilient, adaptable individuals who embrace new challenges with confidence. 🌟🧸

My Commitment to the Future 🌏
I believe that young minds are the foundation of the future. By providing children with the best education now, we are opening doors to endless opportunities for their tomorrows. Being part of their journey and helping to shape their love of learning is an incredibly rewarding experience for me. Every step of the way, I strive to help each child become a confident and capable individual.

I look forward to continuing to support your child’s growth and development with love, care, and dedication. 🌈🌱

Thank you for trusting me to be part of your child’s early years. I look forward to working with your family and helping your child grow into the best version of themselves! 🌟

Hello Families and Parents! 👋

My name is Tamara, and I am absolutely delighted to be an Early Childhood Educator here at My School Child Care & Kindergarten – Park Avenue, Rockhampton. 🌈 I’m passionate about the early years of a child’s life and the incredible learning that happens every single day. These early years are a whirlwind of growth and development, and it’s my mission to ensure that each child’s journey is safe, positive, and filled with joy! 😊

A Holistic Approach to Learning 🧠
I firmly believe that a child’s development is not just about academic learning, but about fostering physical, social/emotional, cognitive, and communication growth. 🌱 It’s all interconnected, and I’m here to guide your child through this exciting journey, supporting their growth in all these areas. My goal is to nurture the whole child, helping them build the self-confidence and enthusiasm they need to continue their love of learning for life! 💡

Celebrating Each Child’s Uniqueness 🌟
Every child is unique, with their own strengths, skills, and interests. As an educator, I truly value these differences and take the time to get to know each child’s individual needs and preferences. 🎨 Whether it’s their favourite way of learning, their preferred activities, or the areas they’re passionate about, I make sure to celebrate and enhance each child’s learning experience. 🧩

Learning Through Play 🎮
I strongly believe that play is the best way for children to learn! 🌟 That’s why I create an environment that offers endless opportunities for exploration, discovery, creation, and imagination. 🎨 Play-based learning not only sparks curiosity but also encourages children to problem-solve, engage with others, and express themselves. 🚀

Embracing Diversity and Inclusion 🌍
At My School Child Care & Kindergarten, we understand the importance of cultural diversity. 🌏 I embrace this diversity in the classroom, helping children understand and appreciate different cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives. This not only enriches their learning but also helps them develop empathy and respect for others. 🤝

A Stimulating Learning Environment 🏫
The learning environment plays a crucial role in a child’s success, and I strive to create one that stimulates and excites them! 🎉 I design learning stations that are engaging and cater to all developmental domains, from social skills to physical abilities and communication styles. 🛠 These stations provide opportunities for children to revisit and re-engage with learning materials, allowing them to learn at their own pace and according to their own style. 💡

A Nurturing and Supportive Approach ❤️
At My School Child Care & Kindergarten - Park Avenue, my mission is to create a nurturing, inclusive, and stimulating environment where every child can thrive! I am deeply committed to supporting your child’s growth, helping them feel valued and excited about their learning journey. 🌟

Thank you for trusting us with your child’s early education. 🙏 I am excited to partner with you to give your little one the best start possible! 🌱

👋 Hello Families!

My name is Tegan, and I’m so excited to be part of the Kindergarten team this year! This is my first year being assigned to a room after starting in childcare in October. I’m currently studying my Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care, and I can’t wait to learn and grow alongside your children.

🏡 A Little About Me
I have a wonderful partner, two dogs, four talking birds, and two cats! 🐶🐦🐱 I love being surrounded by family—both at home and in the classroom. Watching children learn, explore, and reach their full potential brings me so much joy, and I’m excited to be part of their journey.

🌱 My Philosophy
I believe early childhood is a time of incredible growth, with learning happening across all areas—physical, social/emotional, cognitive, and communication. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where every child feels confident and excited to learn. I know that each child follows their own unique path, and I’m here to support and celebrate them every step of the way.

❤️ A Passion for Early Childhood Education
My love for working with children comes from being an aunty to so many wonderful nieces and nephews! Watching them grow and learn inspired me to pursue a career where I can be part of that magic every day. Children bring so much happiness into my life, and I feel incredibly lucky to be part of theirs.

I can’t wait to get to know all the amazing children and families at My School Child Care & Kindergarten!
