Nominated Supervisor and Early Childhood Teacher
Fiona
Hi, I’m Fiona and I’m the Nominated Supervisor and Early Childhood Teacher at Yea Uniting Kindergarten.
I have a Bachelor of Early Childhood Studies and have worked in the sector for almost 30 years. I also have an interest in psychology and have recently completed my Graduate Diploma of Psychology (Advanced). I deeply believe in the profound impact educators have on a child’s development and future success. I’m motivated to create environments that foster curiosity, play, and a love for learning. Working with young children and their families builds meaningful connections and I value the opportunity to nurture these relationships and support the development of both children and families. Our team sees every child as an individual and work closely with families to ensure their child’s journey is both joyful and enriching. With us, you can trust that your child will be in a place that not only promotes learning but also cares deeply about their well-being and development. The team looks forward to welcoming your family to Yea Kindergarten.
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
Your child will learn about good nutrition to form healthy eating habits. We do this by growing fruit, vegetables and herbs in our centre garden. We also teach food safety practices. We respect and follow culturally appropriate food guidelines as we educate the children about healthy eating and
nutrition.
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.
