My name is Samantha (Sam), and I have worked in the Early Childhood sector for thirty years.
I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of services, long daycare, preschool, family day care, as well as performing most roles required in an early childhood service.

I am a strong advocate for the integral role educators play in the lives of our children, as well as the professionalism of our vocation.

I continue to be passionate about the importance of early education during those first five years as the launching pad for children to develop a lifelong love of learning.

We want to provide safe spaces for children to make mistakes and be guided to develop the necessary skills to engage positively in classroom environments.

We want to reassure families that their children will be nurtured while they take their first steps towards independence.

We want to provide learning spaces that promote children’s creativity and provide open-ended opportunities for them to explore within a framework of safety and best practice.

I look forward to supporting children, families, educators, and our community by providing high quality education and care.
