About me

I am a Social Constructivist teacher and have trained extensively in the Reggio Emilia approach. In 2006, I travelled to Reggio Emilia in Italy, the birthplace of this world renowned educational approach, to attend an educator’s conference. I have also presented a workshop at an international conference discussing nature-based education at Bold Park Community School in Perth.

I opened Amy’s Day Nursery in 2013.  I am open three days a week, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 8am-4pm and I am registered with the Cockburn Family Day Care Service. I have current Police Clearance, Working With Children check and am qualified to administer First Aid and CPR. I have had many happy clients and testimonials are available on request.

QualificationsCollapse

I am a qualified early learning teacher (0-8 years) with more than 21 years professional experience.I am also a mother to Hamish, who is 11 years old. I have worked with children for more than 28 years as a Kindergarten, Pre Primary and Junior Primary teacher, babysitter, nanny, day carer, after school activities teacher and family day care educator. I work confidently with ages ranging from babies right up to teenagers.

I have completed a Bachelor of Education, Early Learning (Specialised 0-8 years).

FacilitiesCollapse

We have a big, secure garden with tonnes of toys and natural spaces for exploration but we do love heading out on excursions to the Zoo, park or local natural parkland. To ensure we can travel with ease and the children’s individual needs are met, I work only with small groups of children (maximum of three children).
