After 8 years in the early childhood education field, Jessica is so happy to have found a home away from home in our Lake Haven centre.
Supporting and empowering the next generation, and our world’s future is an incredibly rewarding role. Jess is always working to create a safe space where children can truly be themselves and embrace their uniqueness. She hopes to instil that extra bit of wonder, nurturing and joy. Jessica’s favourite part of being an educator is supporting children to reach a goal and watching their faces light up with pride as they can accomplish their goals independently.
