Hi, I’m Xiaofang and I’m the service leader and educational leader at Rosewood Downs Uniting Kindergarten. I’ve worked in early learning since 2014 with children aged from six weeks to eight years.

Among my qualifications I have a Master of Teaching in Early Years, Master of Education, Child Psychology Diploma, Associate Montessori International (2.5 to 6 years) Diploma, and I’m currently undertaking a PhD exploring bilingual education in kindergartens.

Witnessing and contributing to children’s learning and growth provide me with a sense of achievement!

At Rosewood Downs Uniting Kindergarten, we have a passionate and dedicated team with diverse cultural backgrounds and a wealth of experience in early childhood. Children’s safety and wellbeing is our priority. A fun and nurturing environment for our children to thrive is paramount to us.
