Our educators are the heart of The Cubbyhouse.
With a deep love for early learning and strong ties to the local community, our educators are the heart of The Cubbyhouse. Each team member brings their own warmth, experience and dedication — creating a nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported and ready to explore.
The educators at The Cubbyhouse are a testament to the centre itself and are long standing employees. It is evident that their commitment to early childhood is something that is highly sought after in the sector and the teamwork embedded in this service is something to be celebrated. We are very blessed to have such a passionate, dedicated and experienced team.
All educators have been chosen for their understanding of child development, experience in the early childhood sector, willingness to continually undertake training and professional development, as well as their genuine care and concern for the children in their care. All educators hold a current first aid certificate. Educators attend 2 or more in-service training courses per year and attend regular staff meetings to ensure their professional knowledge remains current.
