Early Childhood Teacher

Leanne

Hello, I’m Leanne, the Early Childhood Teacher at Buchan Uniting Early Learning. I’ve been an early childhood teacher for over 20 years. I have a Diploma of Teaching Primary and a Graduate Diploma of Education Early Childhood.

I’m passionate about creating an extremely rich, thoughtprovoking learning environment that is authentically beautiful for all children. With the intention of each child developing a true sense of belonging, to feel safe, secure and supported as they participate in openended experiences to support their learning and engagement. I view children as confident, capable, curious and active learners. Building strong partnerships with families is the key to maximising the fullest potential of each individual child.

The team at Buchan values and respects children, families and each other. Our learning
environment and curriculum is inclusive, provides experiences and opportunities that focus upon and promote selfesteem, positive relationships, resilience, imagination and curiosity for learning. We develop our curriculum by reflecting upon the developmental needs of the children, their strengths and interests and by celebrating the diversity within our community.

We look forward to welcoming your family into the centre.
