Meet the Centre Manager – Kate Drew
I have been working in early education since 2004 and I hold a Diploma and Advanced Diploma of Community Services in Childcare and a Diploma in Business Sector Management.
I love watching the “ah ha” moment with children, I love being able to follow their learning and watch them grow and develop. I teach based on Reggio Emilia and Maria Montessori. I believe that children should have a natural environment that they can explore. I grew up climbing trees and exploring the outdoors and I want to reflect that in our centre and our teaching practices. Education is a natural process carried out by the child and is not acquired by listening to words but by experiences in the environment.
No day is ever the same, the educators, families and children are what makes every day different and challenging us to be better than we were yesterday. I love being able to make a difference in a child and families lives.
