First Grammar Baulkham Hills

I’ve been in early childhood education since 2018, and I had the pleasure of working at First Grammar Baulkham Hills in 2020 before transferring to our sister centre Fraser Avenue Early Learning Centre. In 2025 I returned to Baulkham Hills as the Centre Manager.

My time at Baulkham Hills was incredibly special, particularly working in the preschool room. I’ve always loved supporting children during this important stage of growth, helping them prepare for their transition into primary school. I’m especially passionate about working with children with additional needs, ensuring they feel confident, included, and empowered to reach their full potential. Every day in early education brings something new, and I find real joy in being part of each child’s learning journey.

One of the most important things I’ve learned is that no two children are the same. Each child has a unique way of learning and engaging with the world, which is why my teaching style is flexible, inclusive, and centred around strong, trusting relationships. I believe play is the foundation of early learning – it’s through play that children make sense of their world, build social skills, and grow emotionally.

My approach is to nurture the whole child by creating a supportive, engaging, and inclusive environment. I meet each child where they’re at, encourage their strengths, and guide them with empathy and care. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, heard, and valued – and that’s exactly what I aim to provide.

When speaking with families, I highlight that while home learning is important, early learning centres offer rich opportunities that can’t always be replicated at home. Centres like First Grammar Baulkham Hills provide social interactions, structured routines, and guided play experiences led by qualified educators. These settings help children build important life skills such as independence, resilience, and communication – skills that set them up for success at school and beyond.

Our team at First Grammar Baulkham Hills is incredibly experienced, dedicated, and passionate about early childhood education. Miss Nipa leads the Nursery and Toddler room and brings 17 years of experience with G8 Education. Miss Kinder is our Early Childhood Teacher and room leader, with years of experience and a warm, thoughtful approach to teaching. She works alongside Miss Glenda, who has been part of the G8 family for over 10 years and is deeply respected by both colleagues and families. Together, they create a nurturing and inclusive environment where every child feels safe, supported, and valued. They are kind, caring, and truly understand the importance of building strong connections with children and their families.

I support families by building genuine, respectful relationships from the very beginning. I’m approachable, always ready for a quick chat or a more in-depth conversation, and I make it a priority to keep families informed and involved in their child’s learning. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your child in someone else’s care, and I work hard to create a warm, welcoming space where every family feels part of our community.

I look forward to welcoming you to our Baulkham Hills early education centre.

I am passionate about encouraging children to embrace their childhood and supporting their overall well-being in the early years. I love seeing each child grow and develop as they transition into their schooling journey.

As a teacher, my goal is to provide a rich and nurturing environment where children feel safe to explore, initiate their own learning, and express themselves freely. I believe that by fostering curiosity, confidence, and a sense of belonging, I can help children build a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

Every child is unique, and I am dedicated to guiding and supporting them in a way that honours their individuality, creativity, and potential.
