Meet the Centre Manager – Jen Attard
I have been working in the early childhood education sector since 1998 where I have seen every aspect of a centre from being an Assistant Educator, Lead Educator, Assistant Centre Manager and now as Centre Manager. I hold a Diploma in Community Services as well as my Advanced Diploma.
As a mother of two children myself I absolutely adore children and having the opportunity to make a positive impact on their lives. Seeing them develop and grow to become who they are, are moments I cherish and has further fueled my dedication to early learning.
