Meet Our Centre Director:

Hello, I'm Zena, and I'd love to share a bit more about my journey and passion in the field of early childhood education.

In 2006, I embarked on a life-changing adventure that took me from the picturesque landscapes of the United Kingdom to the sun-kissed shores of Australia. This journey opened a world of possibilities and quickly reengaged the realm of early childhood education. It was a monumental step, great excitement, and determination.

I come to you armed with a Diploma in Children's Services, a testament to my dedication and commitment to nurturing and educating young minds. But my educational journey doesn't stop there; I'm currently working toward achieving my Bachelor of Education, always striving to enhance my knowledge and skills in this important field.

My passion for children's well-being and education has been a driving force for over two decades. From the earliest days of my career, I found immense joy and fulfillment in the idea of helping children grow, learn, and thrive. Watching them discover the world around them is not just a job for me; it's a calling and a privilege.
