Early Childhood Teacher
Hello, I’m Leanne, the Early Childhood Teacher at Buchan Uniting Early Learning. I’ve been an early childhood teacher for more than twenty years. I have a Diploma of Teaching – Primary and a Graduate Diploma of Education – Early Childhood. I have experience in a range of early childhood settings such as sessional kindergarten, integrated hubs and working with committee members, council operated services and not for profit organisations. With my team, I create a rich, thought-provoking learning environment that is authentically beautiful for all children. Our intention is for each child to develop a sense of belonging, feel safe and supported as they participate in open-ended experiences. I believe building strong partnerships with families is the key to maximising the fullest potential of every child. The team at Buchan values and respects children, families and each other. Our learning
environment and curriculum is inclusive, provides experiences that promote self-esteem, positive relationships, resilience, imagination, and curiosity. We develop our curriculum by reflecting on the developmental needs of the children, their strengths and interests and by celebrating the diversity in our community.
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.
Your child will learn about the importance of eating fresh, nutritious food and overall wellbeing at our early learning centre. Through sharing and socialising during mealtimes, discovering foods from other cultures and eating different flavours, we aim to create healthy habits that will stay with your child for life.
