Meet the Centre Manager – Roberta Keown

 My name is Roberta Keown and I have been in the early childhood education and care sector for over 25 years. I hold a Diploma in Children’s Services, Diploma in Educational Psychology, Cert IV in Finance and I am currently completing my Bachelor’s degree in Family and Children’s Services/Psychology.

I make it my practice to be an advocate for the Early Childhood profession. I currently sit on various committees including The Education Leaders Association, and various planning committees for conferences. Being a part of these professional networks allows me the opportunity to keep up to date on the latest research and recommendations in the sector and to share information with our Educators and build knowledge.

The field of Early Childhood Education continues to excite me.  I am deeply inspired by the children’s natural curiosity and propensity for learning. Our team of passionate and qualified Educators will help your child develop the building blocks for a lifelong love of learning by nurturing their sense of belonging and fostering their individuality. We create a safe welcoming and wondrous environment where children can engage in play-based learning and become capable and competent learners.

I look forward to welcoming you to our Centre and showing you through our state of the art premises with plenty of outdoor play areas located in the heart of the city. With rooms that have been specially designed to enhance your child’s learning experience.

Reviews and Testimonials

See what our parents have to say about our centre:

“Stunning facility in the heart of the city, with excellent accessibility to public transport. When you first walk through the doors it is clearly evident that the Manager and her staff care deeply about what they do, and the environment they are providing for their children. Modern, funky, fun and safe, an amazing facility all round.”

– Graham D

“This morning I walked in to be greeted by Rochelle and Barbara. Our son has such affection for both women, and enthusiastically bursts into the room to be with them, and we have noticed he feels the same way about Megan (or Miss Egan, as he calls her!). Rochelle manages the room so well, and there’s always a sense of calm when she’s in the room. We have also been impressed by the efforts with different activities in the room of late – with things like the caterpillars and lady-bugs, for example. We also really appreciate some of the extra challenges and puzzles the kids are being offered – and it’s been really interesting to begin to better understand letters and numbers, and continue to expand his vocabulary at such a rate. Thanks again.”

– Catherine

“I returned to work 6 months ago and our daughter started at The Learning Sanctuary. As a FTM with most of my family living overseas, I was so nervous about leaving her to go back to work. The team here have been unbelievable. Every educator, front desk manager and the center manager have gone the extra mile to help me through this transition. It was one of the hardest transitions i have faced to date and I will never forget the kindness from each individual to help us through. My daughter is now well settled in. The center is spotless. The activities and spaces are so creative and I thank them all for the care and love they give my little girl single everyday.”

– Lyndsey S

“Fantastic centre and fantastic educators. We extremely impressed with this centre. Our little one is really enjoying there. Environment is very good , nice and clean.”

– Kornwara K

“Absolutely love this centre! My son is thriving and is excited to go to “school” every morning. Their attentiveness is second to none. Every staff member knows each child and their quirks. I could not imagine sending my son anywhere else!”

– Jacqui

“Five star childcare”

– Nicole

“I just wanted to thank all of you for the care you provide. He loves coming to daycare. I ask him in the morning if he is ‘excited to go to daycare and play with his friends?’ And he answers back with ‘YA!’ and then climbs into his pram ready to walk to the bus 😊 It’s just such a nice way to start the day. He’s always engaged in what he is doing when I collect him in the afternoon too. Thanks for all your energy and smiles, you all make it a lovely place for the kids.”

– Felicity

“It gives me great pleasure to commend TLS team, including their educators, kitchen staff and management for their fantastic work. My son joined your school in August 2017 and as a caring dad who live all the way in the Caribbean and work extremely long hours at sea with limited Wifi access. It’s makes my day logging on to the Kindy hub app and reading  the daily journal and excellent developmental report that educators take their time to put together. 

I would like to take the opportunity to let you know how satisfied I am as a parent who lives miles away from my son and how connected I feel due to your communication tools and exceptional services your all offer at learning sanctuary. If I was to rate this school I would rate it as a 5 star. Excellent job by all and keep up the good work.”

– Kori

“My husband and I were discussing how well our son has settled into Nursery 2 and how comfortable and content he seems with the team. The Nursery 2 team are really well organised, attentive to the children’s needs, and have a really warm, positive attitude. You see through the children’s body language the trust and confidence they have in the educators. As a parent, it warms my heart to see the affection and bond my little boy has formed with the wonderful carers. 

We’ve had such a good experience in both Nursery 1 and 2, and it has been a great relief to us to see our son grow and thrive in this environment.”
