Wendy Mackay
Service Manager

Hello, I’m Wendy a Bachelor qualified Early Childhood Teacher with 12 years of experience, including 6 years as the Service Manager here.

I am inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy and teachings which view children as powerful, competent and resourceful. I aim to provide a respectful, trusting and collaborative environment that encourages children to be themselves, share knowledge, and express themselves.

Visit our centre to see the difference our dedicated team can make in your child's life.

As part of our commitment to providing the best possible care for our children, our Bee Healthy menu is designed specifically for our little bees healthy minds, active bodies and love for food!

Our Bee Healthy menu has been developed in partnership with paediatric dietitians to follow the Australian Dietary Requirements for children to nourish young bodies and minds.

• Fresh & Seasonal
• Nutritious & Delicious
• Diverse Flavors & Cultural Cuisines

Our centre focuses on collaborative partnerships with families to create personalised learning experiences that nurture each child's interests, culture and learning style; helping them to learn and grow at their own pace, in their own way.
