Hear from some of our families at The Learning Sanctuary

 

Meet the centre manager – Karin Payne

I’ve been working in Early Childhood Education and Care since 1998. I hold a Diploma of Children’s Services and Diploma of Leadership and Management.

I knew from an early age I wanted to work with children. I love being part of children’s lives and watching them grow and develop into confident individuals. I strive to provide a warm, nurturing and safe environment that enables each child to feel loved and secure.

What makes our centre unique is the team of qualified educators. All the educators are passionate and caring and have amazing relationships with all our families and children. Our Kinder teacher has an amazing program that she runs throughout the day. Her program is designed to assist children’s development in all areas. Social skills, emotional skills, language, literacy and numeracy skills and for the children to have joy in learning in group activities. We also have a Spanish class that one of our educators conducts in the kinder room, this is done daily.

At The Learning Sanctuary Footscray, your family will be heard, loved and supported. We look forward to welcoming you to our centre and answering any questions you might have.

“Best decision ever we have made for our child – placing him with The Learning Sanctuary team in Footscray. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Communication is spot on and the culture and vibe of the place once you set foot in the door is welcoming and trusting. Thank you so much TLS Footscray team! We appreciate all you have done and continue to do for our kid.”

“We’ve been absolutely thrilled by how well our daughter has settled in to The Learning Sanctuary. She has never come home from childcare before and immediately asked if she can go back! The staff are incredibly warm and every time I go in I see children in their arms. The kinder staff are exceptional and I can’t wait to see how she develops next year. Communication between the centre and parents is excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending the centre to anyone who is looking.”
