Our Philosophy

At Birches Early Learning Centre, we strive to elevate the standard of early education, and our dedicated team works tirelessly to provide high-quality care and education to every child, every day. We adopt the widely respected Reggio Emilia approach to learning, which emphasizes enquiry and play-based learning experiences in natural and responsive environments. Our educational philosophies are anchored on this approach to provide an engaging and stimulating learning experience for children.

Meet the Centre Manager

Have you met our Centre Director Michelle yet? Here’s a little about our her!

I am from Malaysia and have been in Australia since 2013.

I have a passion for educating and nurturing children which is the reason I have worked in child care for the past 9 years.

I hold a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care.

I am passionate about my career in Early education and feel I provide an education, fun, compassionate and empathetic environment for the children at the service.

I believe that each child is a unique individual, and that all children develop through their own pattern of growth and development and ongoing communication with families is necessary to continue to meet the needs of children in our care.

I look forward to seeing you around the centre and getting to know more about your family.
