Precious Cargo Lockleys

I’ve been a part of Precious Cargo Lockleys since 2015, starting while I was studying for my Diploma. Over the past nine years, I’ve worked as an educator in our Pre-Kindy Room, including time as the Team Leader. More recently, I’ve stepped into the roles of Assistant Director and Educational Leader. Every day, I’m thankful to be part of the Precious Cargo community, where I have the joy of building connections with children and families. I’m proud to contribute to creating a home-like environment where children feel safe, secure, and supported, all while engaging in meaningful learning through our Montessori curriculum.

From a young age, I had a deep passion for Early Childhood Education. I was fortunate to begin my career at Precious Cargo Lockleys in 2012, just as the Centre was being established. I quickly immersed myself in learning the Montessori method, which instantly inspired me with its child-centred approach and emphasis on fostering independence. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of fulfilling various roles – from Educator to Team Leader, Assistant Director, Educational Leader, and now Centre Director. Each day, I’m grateful for the opportunity to nurture, support, and build strong relationships with our children, families, and educators, all while making a positive impact in our community.

I have been part of the Precious Cargo family for nearly 10 years and have spent over 9 of those years at St Peters before moving to our service at Lockleys.

Through helping out at the school with reading and other support over many years a passion was ignited inside me, a desire to make a difference in early childhood education and my journey with Precious Cargo began. Now after working in all rooms as an educator and most recently as a Montessori Mentor and WHS Representative I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to join our Lockley’s service and become part of their family first as Assistant Director and now Director.

This position will allow me to continue to inspire staff to offer children in our care the best possible start to their education, to learn life skills that set the foundation for their future in an ordered, caring and prepared environment during what is our children’s most formative years.
