Staff
Our early childhood educators have many years experience working with and nurturing children. They believe in allowing children time to explore, investigate and discover through a play based program. The smaller, familiar feel of our kindergarten allows staff to form genuine, supportive relationships with the children and their families. They also work closely as a team to develop the best, most appropriate learning opportunities for our children. Elissa ( Our Educational Leader), Cathy, Dawn, Lisa, Rachel, Robyn, Tina and Vicki are wonderful contributors to our kindergarten. We value and appreciate their enthusiasm, experience and knowledge.
We are very lucky to have the expertise of Janet Nicholls, our office administrator, who works Thursday and Friday each week. Janet has worked in kindergartens in this area since 1999 and is an invaluable member of our team. Sue Buckle provides administrative duties, in support of the Educational Leader & Committee of Management who works Tuesday and Wednesday each week.
Another wonderful feature of South Kingsville Pre School is that our teachers are always available for you to discuss the progress of your child. You are more than welcome to make a formal interview time, but Emma, Elissa, Dawn, Lisa, Rachel, Robyn, Tina and Vicki are just as happy to chat with you informally at the beginning or end of a session.
Prospective parents, who would like to gain a better sense of what our kinder is about, are welcome to call or drop in and see our fabulous staff and children in action. See our contact details on this website.
