Georgia Diploma Educator
I have been working at MVK for the past 10 years and there is nowhere quite like it! I believe kindy should be a safe, happy place for a child and I love being able to do the fun, sensory and messy activities and be a child with them again for a while!
Chantelle CERTIFICATE III EDUCATOR w/t DIPLOMA
I love creating supportive environments for the children and watching them actively learn and grow. I enjoy witnessing the children form connections and bonds with one another. Each child has their own unique personality which blossoms in their own light, and watching this unfold is such a delight!
Mia CERTIFICATE III EDUCATOR w/t DIPLOMA
I love inspiring the children to be environmentally responsible and seeing them play an active role in caring for our world. I love seeing them connect with nature around them.
Nikki Early Childhood Teacher
There's nothing quite as fulfilling to me as being the 'safe place' on which a child can rely. I know I'm doing my job well when a child comes to me for reassurance and guidance before securely returning to play. I also love setting up creative play spaces and watching the children engage with and love their activities. I see my job as a facilitator of learning whilst assisting in the development of empathy and consideration for others.
Kelly DIPLOMA EDUCATOR
I love having conversations with the children after group time and hearing what they have learnt - it fascinates me how thirsty they are for knowledge! And the best thing is when I hear afterwards that they have taken that knowledge home to share with Mum and Dad … I know I’ve done a good job!
REBECCA EDUCATOR w/t GRADUATE DIPLOMA EARLY CHILDHOOD
It is such a joy arriving to work and being welcomed by lots of happy, smiling faces that are excited to see you! I enjoy spending quality time with each child and learning about their experiences, interests and families. With a background in acting for children's theatre, I have a real passion for inspiring children through dramatic play. I believe in the power of the performing arts to spark imagination, build confidence and foster socio-emotional skills. I love creating safe spaces in which children can express themselves, grow and discover the joy of storytelling and imaginative play - especially when I'm invited to join in!
