Greenwood Burwood East

Our centre chef prepares and cooks healthy and nutritious meals daily, catering to the unique dietary requirements of every child. We believe that by encouraging active participation (such as growing their own fruit and vegetables, preparing, and finally cooking!) children learn to appreciate and understand the importance of healthy eating.

Our centre offers children nutrient-rich, unprocessed, and seasonal whole foods – created to delight the fussiest eaters.

Hi my name is Surpreet, and I am the Centre Manager here at Greenwood Burwood East. I began working in early learning in March 2016 and joined Burwood East in May 2023. My qualifications include a Master of Education in Leadership & Curriculum, a Bachelor of Education, and a Graduate Diploma in Teaching Early Childhood Education. I have been a qualified Early Childhood Teacher (ECT) since March 2016 and have been serving as a centre manager since May 2018.

My passion lies in establishing a culture where children are highly valued. As an early childhood educator, my role is to empower children’s learning by creating an environment that contributes to valued learning outcomes for all children. Seeing children grow and reach different milestones is one of the most exciting aspects of early childhood education. I am proud to be in a position where I can advocate for quality education and care practices that support young children’s learning during these formative years. To support children in becoming competent and confident learners, I believe in creating an interactive, supportive, and nurturing environment. As qualified and experienced educators, we have the opportunity to shape the future of young learners by providing engaging and creative learning experiences that support their holistic development.

Our team at Burwood East has extensive experience in supporting children's learning and development. Most of our team members hold diplomas, and we have two Bachelor-qualified ECTs running the pre-kindergarten and kindergarten rooms. We foster a nurturing team culture where we respect everyone's cultural identity and work together to promote positive learning outcomes for all children. Many of our team members are multilingual, offering additional support to children and families by speaking their home languages.

We show support to our families by spending quality time with them during orientations and sharing feedback about their children’s day during pick-up and drop-off times. We enjoy celebrating various occasions with our families, including Mother's Day, Father's Day, Christmas parties, children’s birthdays, kindergarten info nights, transition-to-school evenings, and NDIS informative sessions. We also invite families to participate in supporting children's learning by reading books in their child’s room, sharing professional knowledge during special mat times, and providing feedback through surveys and questionnaires to help design learning experiences for their children.
