Service Leader and Educational Leader

Ying

Hi there! I’m Ying, the Service Leader and Educational Leader at Melton Uniting Kindergarten.

I graduated from the University of Melbourne with a Master of Teaching in 2018 and have
been a dedicated kindergarten teacher ever since. I’m truly passionate about child development, neuroscience and trauma-informed teaching practices, and I believe every child can thrive in an environment of safe relationships, respect, and trust and it is my goal to foster a strong sense of community and create a supportive space for both children and families.

Melton Uniting Kindergarten offers a holistic approach to early childhood education where
we respect children as capable and unique individual, value the power of play. The teaching team prioritizes forming strong connections with each child, creating a warm and welcoming
environment where every child can explore their interests, feel valued and empowered to
reach their full potential.
