Red Group Educator

Diploma in Early Childhood Education

"I decided I wanted to work in a learning environment when I was at school myself; I now have over 20 years experience. My son spent his kindy year here and the experience he had was fantastic. The kindy philosophy provided him with many opportunities to learn, grow and explore; It gave him so much independence and confidence. I loved the environment so much that I joined the Caloundra Community Kindergarten family in 2011."

Kirsten

Yellow Group Teacher

Bachelor of Education

"For most of my teaching career I have taught preschool and prep, however in the past 5 years I have worked with children with special needs which I have loved. I have always had a passion for child centred, play based learning and natural environments. I have a strong affinity with Caloundra Community Kindergarten as both of my children have attended here. My family have a passion for healthy, clean eating and we love to volunteer with Disabled Surfing Australia, stand up paddle boarding, spending time in nature and reading."

Annette

Yellow Group Educator

Diploma of Children's Services

"I believe that all children are unique yet equal and deserve to be guided and supported in a nurturing play based, child led environment where they can build life long skills. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to work at Caloundra Community Kindergarten with a team of educators, each with their own interests and skills to share. I am a strong believer in play based learning and a great lover of nature and the outdoors, all of which I can experience every working day at Caloundra Kindy."

Tobi

Red Group Educator

Diploma in Early Childhood Education

"My 10 years experience in early learning environments has given me grounding and understanding of my role as an educator. I have a passion for young children and the pure enrichment they bring to people’s lives. I believe in getting back to basics and allowing children to explore, discover and connect with their natural environment. I embrace each child’s uniqueness. All of my 3 children were fortunate enough to journey through this Kindy and I feel privileged to be part of this amazing team and community."

Rebecca

Yellow Group Educator

Diploma in Children's Services

"I have two beautiful children of my own, a husband and a fur baby. I love baking and cooking and love sharing these experiences with children.

Early childhood education holds a special place in my heart. I feel strongly about the importance that these years have in a child’s life and am grateful I get to be a part of that.

Working with many children over the years with varying additional needs, strengths and abilities has driven my passion to recently complete a Certificate 3 in Individual Support (Disability). This is an area that I am very interested in as I am passionate about helping people of all ages and supporting their needs within their daily lives.

I am really excited to be a part of the Caloundra Kindy community and supporting your child in their learning journey".
