Meet the Centre Manager – Violet Ivanovic

I have been working in the early childhood sector since 2001. I have completed my Diploma and Advanced Diploma in Children’s Service. I believe that children are the leaders of their own learning and the best way to learn is through play.

I am passionate about leading and mentoring educators to provide a nurturing and caring environment for all children. Our team works on providing high-quality care for children always. Educators work together with families to ensure that children are given the best opportunity to thrive both at the Service as well as at home.

We look forward to welcoming you to our centre and working with you to help your child grow!
