Meet Carmon, our Mildura childcare centre manager
My philosophy as a Centre Manager focuses on creating a nurturing and stimulating environment where every child thrives as a unique and capable learner. I believe in the power of play-based learning, where children actively construct knowledge through exploration and discovery.
My role at this Mildura early learning centre is to facilitate this with rich resources, fostering belonging, and embracing diversity. I am committed to continuous professional development for my team, empowering them to be reflective educators, and aligning our practices with the EYLF.
I believe in establishing strong, reciprocal relationships with families, acknowledging their vital role in their little one’s learning journey. Open communication and active collaboration are essential to building a cohesive and supportive community. My goal is to create a centre where children feel safe, educators feel valued, and families feel connected. By fostering a collaborative culture and embracing inclusivity, we empower every child to develop confidence and contribute positively to their learning journey.

For babies (0 to 2 years old), we provide a balanced day of care, rest and social stimulation in safe, stimulating rooms. The everyday routines at our daycare in Mildura provide opportunities for your baby to strengthen relationships and build language skills through songs, games and conversations.
For toddlers (2 to 3 years old), we plan age-appropriate play-based learning experiences around each child’s interests and learning goals. Our activities support all areas of a child’s development, including language and motor movement, memory, concentration, emotions and social relationships.
For preschoolers (3+ years old), preparing for ‘big’ school is our key focus. The educational programs at our preschool in Mildura are taught by a qualified early childhood educator and are designed to help prepare your child both socially and emotionally for the next step in their early education journey.
Play-based learning provides opportunities to actively explore and imaginatively engage with people, objects and their environment.
When playing, little learners may engage in organising, constructing, manipulating, pretending, exploring, investigating, creating, interacting, imagining or negotiating.
Play promotes the holistic development (physical, social, emotional, cognitive and creative) of a child and can also support a broad range of literacy and numeracy skills.
Nurturing, welcoming, and empowering children
We provide high-quality early education that fosters the learning and growth of every child. Our play-based principles and nutrition-focused meals encourage exploration, expression and celebration of individual learning journeys.
