Meet Naomi, our Eglinton early learning centre director
Being an Early Childhood Educator is a wonderful and rewarding profession.
It has always been my passion to work with children and learn and grow alongside them. Children need all the support, care and guidance possible to help them learn and thrive, whilst exploring and discovering a world of new opportunities and possibilities.
Building strong and trusting relationships with families is crucial to provide the best possible care for each child’s development. It’s important to instill confidence in children to encourage enthusiasm, motivation, creativity, curiosity and an interest in growing as a person.
I pride myself on greeting every individual who walks through the doors of our Eglinton childcare centre with a great deal of respect, excitement, and a warm-hearted smile. Every person, no matter their age, is strong, capable, creative, and authentic, and everyone plays an important role in our world.
I have always been driven to teach, guide and empower others to reach their potential. As a mentor, it’s important to help people see their talent and abilities they have within themselves, that they might not see on their own and help to bring them out and shine. Not only for themselves, but to help them inspire others in a supportive environment.
I’m very passionate about the Early Childhood Sector, supporting the rights of every child and supporting their social and emotional wellbeing. I have always been a strong advocate for children and try to go above and beyond to help their voices be heard in my day-to-day practice.
I consider my job as an advocate, educator, and leader, to be creating a safe, welcoming, open-ended, and fun environment where children and educators can collaborate to help foster determination, imagination, inquisitiveness and an inspirational place to be, belong and become.
I believe families are the most influential teachers in a child’s life. My ambitious and attentive personality has helped me in the past be able to offer guidance to other educators, children, and parents, to support them in their unique early learning journey.
I always try to remember –
“A Day without laughter is a day wasted”.

Our early learning centre offers a day full of play-based education, personalised to your child’s age, wants and needs.
For babies (0 to 2 years old), our services balance care, rest and social stimulation. The daily routine at our daycare centre offers opportunities for your baby to foster relationships and build language through songs, games and conversations.
For toddlers (2 to 3 years old), our educators plan age-appropriate fun and games that revolve around children’s interests and learning goals. Our play-based activities focus on all areas of a child’s learning experience, such as language and motor movement, memory, concentration, emotions and social relationships.
For preschool children (3+ years old), the school readiness program is our core focus. Our preschool programs are taught by a qualified early childhood educator and designed to help prepare kids for big school by fostering the social, emotional, numeracy and literacy skills needed to thrive in the next stage of their education.
Play-based learning, a key element of the Early Years Learning Framework, encourages children to explore, imagine, and engage with their surroundings, including people and objects, in meaningful ways.
Through play, children might build, sort, pretend, create, investigate, negotiate, or discover.
This approach supports a child’s overall growth—physically, socially, emotionally, cognitively, and creatively—while also helping to develop foundational skills in literacy and numeracy.
Deciding to send your child to an early learning centre before preschool is a personal choice, but it can have lasting benefits for a child’s growth.
Enrolling your child at an Eglinton daycare centre like Juniors Journey helps them to start building their social skills and making friends, strengthen their independence and get familiar with learning routines. This nurturing and supportive space can make their shift to preschool and ‘big’ school smoother.
While we provide meals, nappies, and wipes, we ask families to pack a labelled spare change of clothes, a hat, and any comfort items your child may need (such as a dummy or soft toy). Our team will let you know if your child requires anything specific.
Yes, we offer nutritious, chef-prepared meals tailored to meet the dietary needs of all age groups. Our seasonal menu includes morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, and a late snack.
Our educators hold relevant qualifications in early childhood education, and our preschool program is led by a qualified Early Childhood Teacher.
All staff at our daycare and preschool in Eglinton also hold Working With Children Checks, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your child is in safe hands.
