Tan
Hi, my name is Tan.
I Have 10 years’ experience in early childhood education and care. For the last six years I have been working at Sandgate kids Nash St. I enjoy working with children and understand the importance of the first few years of a child’s life. I enjoy facilitating their learning and helping them discover their strengths and talents. Each day at Nash at brings a new possibility in learning.
Nursery
Kaylene
My name is Kaylene, and I am the lead educator in the nursery.
I have many years of experience in the childcare profession. My experience has mainly been with infants and toddlers although I have worked in all age groups.
I believe in treating each child as capable and competent. Building their sense of self through agency and giving them opportunities to try for themselves rather than doing it for them. Listening to them and respecting their boundaries.
I look forward to meeting you and your child and supporting them to grow and be their best self.

My goal is to provide children with the best possible care and help support them so they can become confident and capable individuals who enjoy spending their days in our care.
