What we provide
Meet our Centre Manager
Lisa Shrimpton
With 17 years of experience in early childhood education, I'm passionate about supporting children to learn, develop new skills and apply new ideas every single day.
I provide a vibrant, fun and educational setting for all children. It's great to see children develop and grow into the little learners they are today!
It's really important to us that we create a sense of community for families and children. By involving the community in our curriculum, children get to experience real-world learning opportunities and feel a sense of belonging.
Our team can speak a range of languages including English, Arabic, Chinese, Hindu, Macedonian, Filipino, Serbian, Spanish and Vietnamese.
Meet our Educational Leader
Sonbinder Brar
With over 12 years of experience in early childhood education, I have seen the profound impact of play-based learning and passionately believe that play is a powerful vehicle for learning, helping children develop critical thinking skills, creativity, and social-emotional competence.
As a leader, I advocate for curriculum models that value play, exploration, and hands-on experiences to engage and inspire young learners. I always want to inspire, empower, and guide everyone to reach their fullest potential. I am deeply committed to fostering a learning environment where curiosity, collaboration, and creativity flourish.
My goal is to encourage every child to reach their full potential, and support every educator to excel in their practice. Together, we can build a future of education that is inclusive, innovative, and inspiring.
With a passion for lifelong learning, I bring both experience and enthusiasm to the role. I believe in the power of relationships and know that a positive, supportive culture is the foundation of a thriving educational community.
