Educator Backgrounds
Zee (4 Year Old Group Teacher/ Nominated Supervisor/ Educational Leader)
Hello, My name is Zee. I am the teacher of Biik Group, Nominated Supervisor and Educational Leader for the Kindergarten. I hold a Bachelor of Education (Honours) in Early Years Education.
I started at Maroondah Pre-School in 2012. I love working closely with children and families to create the special sense of community here at Maroondah Pre-school. I value children’s play and like to extend their learning through conversations about their ideas and questions. I believe children are competent and capable and enjoy highlighting the maths, science and literacy in their play.
Carolyn (3 Year Old Group Teacher)
Hello everyone. I have been involved with Maroondah Pre-School since 2012 as a parent and in various staffing roles.
I am passionate about early childhood education and hold a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education.
I am a keen gardener and love spending time with my three children. I look forward to nurturing your children in this beautiful environment and creating happy memories.
Rachel (3 and 4 Year Old Group Educator)
Hi! My name is Rachel.
I have recently completed my Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care and I am excited to beginning my career as an educator here at Maroondah Pre-School.
I am passionate about creating a space where all children feel valued and safe.
I have three children aged 14, 12 and 10, and in my spare time I love cooking, reading and spending time with friends and family.
Mel (4 Year Old Group Educator)
Hello Everyone,
I am very excited to work with the wonderful team at Maroondah Pre-school. I hold a Diploma of Early Childhood, which I gained in 2021 after completing my Certificate III in 2019.
I love building strong relationships with children and getting to know how I can best support them. Seeing children thrive in the kinder environment is a true joy for me.
Outside of kinder I love spending time with my family, crafting, reading and attempting to keep plants alive in my garden.
