All people we welcome into our team are qualified, and share the same passion and vision to create a centre that supports and works collaboratively with parents and the community, to achieve best possible outcomes for the children in our care.
We acknowledge that all our team members have unique gifts and experiences to share, which helps build a strong and inclusive culture within our service. We believe in supporting our staff, to grow and develop professionally, to exceed benchmarks set by the National Quality Framework.
Spirals Early Learning maintains staffing at all times according to the National Education and Care Regulations 2012. Each of our three rooms has specific, regular educators assigned to allow children and caregivers to become familiar with these staff members and form meaningful relationships.
Staff rosters will promote continuity of care, allowing children to feel safe and secure during their time at Spirals Early Learning. You can see the names and photos of our educators at the entrance of each of our rooms
