Our Team

Emma Kubler - Director

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.

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.

Kara Press - Admin Officer

I love welcoming families into our ELC community and helping make each day run as smoothly as possible. Greeting every person with a smile is one of my favourite parts of the day, as I believe small moments of warmth make a big difference.
