Meet The Team

We employ a team of highly qualified educators, who are professional, and committed to providing a curriculum that promotes quality outcomes for children. We believe that it is vital for our educators to keep up to date with the latest literature and research in early childhood education, and to ensure that their knowledge of child development, teaching strategies and the curriculum are not only of an excellent standard, but also reflect the best evidence-based practice in the field of early childhood education

We have delegated an appropriately qualified and experienced Educational Leader, to lead the implementation of innovative programs that reflect the National Learning Frameworks of Australia. We also use the National Quality Standard as a guide for continual improved, as we strive to achieve a standard that exceeds that National average.

We have a close partnership with Malak Preschool, supporting those children who are enrolled to attend the preschool, delivering and collecting them each day, making the transition process between our services as smooth as possible.
