Our Management Team
Karina (Nursery Manager)
● Years of experience in childcare: 18 years
● Why you love working in childcare: I always wanted to work with children from a very young age. I love seeing a child develop throughout their time with us and meeting important milestones like walking or potty training, and then seeing their personalities grow, wondering what they will be like as they get older. I also feel that building relationships with the family is so important; we may be the only source of support to them and they are trusting you with their child; when you hear how much they appreciate what we do, the positive impact we've had on them and their child, it makes it all worthwhile.

● Years of experience in childcare: 11 years
● Why you love working in childcare: I love being able to have the opportunity to be a child again, seeing the world through a child's eyes and being allowed to be silly. I love watching the children grow and develop, learning what's right and wrong and being an impact on future lives. No two days are the same, each day is different, and you never know what is going to happen.

● Why you love working in childcare: I love working in childcare for so many reasons. One of the greatest joys is watching each child’s personality develop and shine while they’re in my care. It’s incredibly exciting to see their confidence grow day by day as they discover who they are and what they enjoy doing. I also love the small moments of wonder when they experience something new for the very first time and watching the curiosity in their eyes. Being able to be apart of those milestones, no matter how small, is always so fun and rewarding.
