Jade Mahaffey - Directo
My prayer is that the Early Learning Centre would be a place where children and families feel welcome, valued and experience a sense of peace and joy as they walk through the doors. I love getting to know each of our children and their families and watching them grow and develop during their time at the ELC.
Amy Chapman - Director
My prayer is for each little one and their family to embark on a learning journey that is joyful and surrounded by God's love. It is such a joy to listen to and watch our youngest learners come out of their shells, revealing their unique personalities as they discover their strengths, passions, and the world around them.
Tarah Kropp - Assistant Director/Admin Manager
My favourite part of the ELC is the people - the children, the families, and the staff. There's a genuine sense of community here, a shared love and care that always centres on the child. It's a place where everyone feels connected and valued.
Kelly McIntyre - Kindy Teacher (ECT)

Courtney Bridge - Pre-Kindy Teacher (ECT)
I believe in creating a positive, nurturing and inclusive environment where each child feels respected, valued and excited to learn. I encourage independence, curiosity and collaboration, so your child will have plenty of opportunities to practice important skills.
Lisa Grant - Toddler Lead Educator
I believe in creating a safe, loving and engaging environment where children feel comfortable to explore and make new discoveries every day. My goal is to help your child build confidence, develop independence and foster a love of learning that will last a lifetime.
