Diploma Qualified

I have currently been at Columbia Park Early Learning Centre for 13 years. 

I became an Early Childhood Educator because I love educating and caring for children, and watching how their individual personalities make every day unique and special. I love the relationships you build with the children and their families, that last long after they've finished at Columbia Park. And I love the amazing workmates who have become lifelong friends.

Hi, my name is Renee and I have worked in the Children’s Services Industry for more than twenty six years. I have my Diploma in Early Childhood and have been at Columbia Park Early Learning Centre for seventeen years. I am always learning something new in my career which I believe helps me grow as an Educator. I believe in building strong trusting relationships with children so they feel safe, secure and supported. I believe in the rights of children and nurturing their learning through planning and daily practices. I believe it is important the words we use with children. It is rewarding to see children learn and grow through planning and practices implemented.

I have been working at Columbia Park for 16 years and before that I worked at other centres and in kindergartens for many more. I am passionate about including sustainable practices into the rooms and the centre as a whole. I pride myself on being an advocate for the children and having their voices heard in all areas within the centre. A highlight of my job is seeing the children develop and grow during their time at the centre.
