Service Leader
Janine
Hi, I’m Janine, the Service leader at Pilgrim Uniting Early Learning. I’ve worked at the service for over 25 years and hold a Diploma in Early Education and Care.
My passion for Early learning stems from building relationships with families in a compassionate and respectful way. It’s so rewarding to listen to the children’s individual voices and learn about their journey. This enables me to support them and to grow families’ trust with our service. and the child
has confidence to express their ideas and needs and this also empowers the child to want to learn.
The team at Pilgrim facilitates a mixed age program that offers flexibility to families, for children aged from 6 months to 7 years of age. Siblings can play and learn together.
Health and wellbeing
Mental health
Our educators are trained in various programs to support the mental health of your child and are skilled in working with children who have experienced challenges and trauma. We also offer mental health support for families if you find yourself in need of assistance.
Nutrition
Our educators are passionate about helping children make healthy choices by offering lessons on nutrition, food safety and cooking. Your child will help with the growth and preparation of produce from our garden and learn about food from different cultural backgrounds. At our early learning centre, we:
- Cater for all dietary requirements
- Emphasise food safety
- Work with families from a range of cultural backgrounds to ensure cultural foods meet requirements
- Offer progressive snack and lunchtime to empower children to ask for what they want and when
- Provide morning and afternoon tea.
Safe environment
As a child safe organisation, our educators undergo regular working with children’s and police checks. We are focused on delivering learning and development in a safe and supportive environment, so you can trust that your child is in good hands.
