Casey /Nominated Supervisor/ Educational Leader /Early Childcare Teacher

With over 25 years of experience in early childhood education—including the past 13 years at Holsworthy Preschool—I’m deeply committed to nurturing each child’s individuality. I believe every child is wonderfully unique, with their own strengths, interests, and perspectives on the world. My passion lies in working alongside children to ignite and expand their natural curiosity. I strive to create environments where exploration is encouraged, questions are celebrated, and learning feels joyful and meaningful. I also believe that strong partnerships between children, families, and the wider community are essential to the wellbeing of all. Together, we can build a foundation of trust, belonging, and shared growth that supports every child’s journey.

I’m a passionate Early Childhood Teacher with over 20 years of experience in Early Years education across the UK and Australia. Since emigrating to Australia in 2017 with my husband and two sons, I’ve continued to build on my commitment to nurturing young learners through play-based, child-led experiences. My teaching approach centers on creativity, curiosity, and connection. I specialize in integrating art, literacy, and sensory play to support children’s development in numeracy, communication, and social-emotional skills. I believe that the early years are a vital foundation for lifelong learning, and that strong, trusting relationships with children and families are key to successful outcomes.
