Angela

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."

Katrina

Yellow Group Teacher

Bachelor of Education

"I have worked in the Community Kindergarten Sector for over 32 years.

I am passionate about fostering children’s curiosity, confidence, and creativity through play. I value the unique strengths each child brings and love nurturing a culture of collaboration, care and empathy - drawing awareness to the impact we all have on our environment and the others we share it with.

In my spare time I love travelling with my partner and spending time with my three adult children, two grandchildren and extended family enjoying the beach, camping, bushwalking, swimming 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."

Melissa

Red Group Educator

Diploma in Childcare and Education

"I have been working in early childhood on and off for about 30 years with a passion for nurturing children’s growth and development. I look forward to creating a loving and engaging environment where children can explore, learn and thrive. I am a proud mother of 2 adult children, Sophie and Archer and spend my spare time exploring nature, kayaking and I love listening to music."

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".
