<p>I have been working in early childhood education since 2002 and joined the First Grammar Epping team in 2024. I bring many years of experience supporting children, families and educators in early learning environments.<\/p> <p>I chose this career because I am passionate about supporting children during their early years and helping them grow in confidence, curiosity and independence. What I enjoy most is building meaningful relationships with children, families and educators, and watching children learn, explore and reach new milestones each day.<\/p> <p>My approach focuses on creating a supportive and welcoming environment where children feel safe and encouraged to explore the world around them. I am passionate about helping each child build confidence, curiosity and a love of learning while supporting their individual strengths and interests.<\/p> <p>When speaking with families, I explain that while children learn many valuable skills at home, early childhood education and care centres provide additional opportunities for social interaction, structured learning experiences and guidance from qualified educators. Through play and group activities, children develop important skills such as communication, teamwork, independence and problem solving, helping support their overall development.<\/p> <p>Our team consists of 18 passionate and dedicated educators who bring a wealth of experience and creativity to our centre. We are proud to have a multicultural team whose diverse backgrounds enrich the learning environment for our children. Together, we work closely with families to create a safe, nurturing and engaging space where children feel valued and supported.<\/p> <p>Supporting families and building strong relationships with them is central to our approach. We prioritise open communication, listen to families\u2019 needs, and work closely with them to understand each child\u2019s strengths and interests. By building trust and encouraging family involvement in their child\u2019s learning journey, we create a strong and supportive centre community.<\/p> <p><\/p>                                                    <\/div>\n                                                                                                            <a href=\"#\" class=\"g8-centre-managers__slide__read-more\"><span>Read <span\n                                                                    class=\"more\">more<\/span><span class=\"less\">less<\/span><\/span><\/a>\n                                                                                                                                                <\/div>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                                                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"g8-slider-pagination-container\">\n                                <div class=\"g8-centre-managers__pagination g8-slider-pagination\"><\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                            \n                                                <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-g8-star-two\"><\/i>\n                        <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-g8-three-lines\"><\/i>\n                        <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-g8-book\"><\/i>\n                        <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-g8-music\"><\/i>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n    <section id=\"g8-icon-card_8_66bd59955c4ca\" class=\"g8-icon-card  \">\n        <div class=\"g8-container\">\n            <div class=\"g8-row\">\n                <div class=\"g8-col\">\n                    <div class=\"g8-icon-card__container g8-block-container\">\n                        <div class=\"g8-icon-card__header g8-block-header\">\n                                                            <h2 class=\"g8-icon-card__title\">Our innovative early learning programs<\/h2>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                    <div class=\"g8-icon-card__description g8-block-content\"><p>At our early learning centre in Epping, our experienced educators and teachers continually seek innovative ways to enrich your child\u2019s education.

Through inquiry-based learning and a strong focus on wellbeing, we nurture capable, resilient, and enthusiastic learners.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                                                \n                                                                                                    <div class=\"g8-slider__buttons-group\">\n                                                                                                                                                                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstgrammar.com.au\/childcare-and-early-education\/kindergarten-preschool\" class=\"g8-slider__button\"\n                                                                    target=\"\"\n                                                                    title=\"Our kindergarten rooms\"><span>Our kindergarten rooms<\/span><\/a>\n                                                                                                                                                                        <\/div>\n                                                                                            <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"g8-slider__slide-preview\">\n                                                <span>\n                                                                                                            Previous:                                                         Pre-kinder                                                                                                    <\/span>\n\n                                                <span>\n                                                                                                            &nbsp;\n                                                                                                    <\/span>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                                                    <\/div>\n                                <div class=\"g8-slider-pagination-container\">\n                                    <div class=\"g8-slider__pagination g8-slider-pagination\"><\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"g8-slider__prev-button\"><i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-round-arrow-left\"><\/i><\/div>\n                            <div class=\"g8-slider__next-button\"><i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-round-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n    <section id=\"g8-image-content_12_66bd59955c4d0\" class=\"g8-image-content g8-block-container  \">\n        <div class=\"g8-container\">\n            <div class=\"g8-row\">\n                <div class=\"g8-col\">\n                    <div class=\"g8-image-content__container image-right\">\n                        <div class=\"g8-image-content__inner-container--image\">\n                                                            <picture class=\"g8-image-content__image\"><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firstgrammar.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/fg-kindergarten-3.jpg\"><source media=\"(min-width: 320px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firstgrammar.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/fg-kindergarten-3-500x333.avif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.firstgrammar.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/fg-kindergarten-3.jpg\" alt=\"fg-kindergarten-3\" width=\"648\" height=\"432\"loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/picture>                                                                                                                                        <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"g8-image-content__inner-container--content\">\n                                                                                        <h2 class=\"g8-image-content__title g8-block-subtitle\">Victorian Government-approved Kindergarten program<\/h2>\n                                                                                        <div class=\"g8-image-content__content g8-block-wysiwyg\"><p>At First Grammar Epping early learning centre, our kindergarten program supports the whole child, helping 3 and 4-year-olds build the confidence, independence, and skills needed for a smooth transition to school.

of development. Educators use intentional teaching and a combination of small-group and one-on-one experiences to support diverse learning styles and help children progress at their own pace. Learning goals are informed by regular observations, family input, and developmental milestones, and are documented through portfolios and digital updates to keep families involved. We embed cultural responsiveness into our curriculum, ensuring that each child\u2019s identity and background are acknowledged and celebrated. <\/p>\n<p>We are committed to creating a supportive and inclusive environment where all children feel seen, safe, and valued. For children with additional needs, we collaborate with families and allied health professionals to develop individualised learning plans and implement targeted strategies that enable every child to participate fully. Our environments are flexible and adaptive, providing the right level of support while encouraging independence. For children learning English as an additional language, we use visual aids, gestures, and consistent routines to build understanding and confidence. We also honour each child\u2019s cultural heritage by incorporating their home language and traditions into the curriculum, fostering a strong sense of belonging.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

These can be taken for any reason, including public holidays and when children are sick, without requiring families to provide documentation.\"}}]}<\/script>    <\/section>\n\n\n    <section id=\"g8-image-content_24_66bd5b7c2eefc\" class=\"g8-image-content g8-block-container  \">\n        <div class=\"g8-container\">\n            <div class=\"g8-row\">\n                <div class=\"g8-col\">\n                    <div class=\"g8-image-content__container full no-image\">\n                        <div class=\"g8-image-content__inner-container--image\">\n                                                                                                                    <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-g8-pattern-star-heart pattern-one\"><\/i>\n                                                                                        <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-g8-pattern-sun-pen pattern-two\"><\/i>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"g8-image-content__inner-container--content\">\n                                                                                        <h2 class=\"g8-image-content__title g8-block-subtitle\">Contact us<\/h2>\n                                                                                        <div class=\"g8-image-content__content g8-block-wysiwyg\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\">We look forward to welcoming your family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n                                                                                                                        <div class=\"g8-image-content__buttons-group\">\n                                                                                                            <a href=\"\/book-a-tour?centre=first-grammar-epping\" class=\"g8-image-content__button\" target=\"\" title=\"Book a tour\"><span>Book a tour<\/span><\/a>\n                                                                                                                                                <a href=\"\/enquire-now\/?centre=first-grammar-epping\" class=\"g8-image-content__button\" target=\"\" title=\"Enquire now\"><span>Enquire now<\/span><\/a>\n                                                                                                    <\/div>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":693,"parent":22,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-144","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>First Grammar Epping | Childcare &amp; Kindergarten Epping<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Get the best start to early learning with our child care and kindergarten programs at First Grammar Epping.
