Tell us a bit about your career in Education and Care (how many years, your qualifications, your aspirations)?
I have been part of this industry for over 9 years. In that time I've spent 4 years studying my craft all while understanding and appreciating the minds and bodies of each individual that I had the pleasure of caring for. My initial goal as a student was to learn and apprehend as much as I possibly could to teach with confidence and passion and when I felt I had achieved that confidence it was clear that my passion was always there. As many of us, I still have much I would like to learn to challenge my skill set, for me that means finding new ways of inspiring our little ones to challenge their knowledge and to positively spark a flame in my team as they fight to provide a new way of thinking and exploring each and every day.

What keeps you here?
The love and patience that I have for teaching as I watch my children discover, question and explore their world and community is what keeps me here, and, knowing that my hard-working team is always there to support that. Nothing beats "the penny drop" moment that each and every child experiences when they unearth something new, it's exciting and absolutely magical.
What do you love best about working with children?
Children make each day feel new, new adventures, new discoveries, new ways of thinking and new friendships. This is what drives my motivation and gives me clear insight in knowing that I am in the right industry for me.
When did you start working at Sonas, and what is it that you love most about working with your team?
I began my Sonas journey in January of 2020 which was accompanied by an ever growing position of learning as I embarked on my management journey. I wish to always be an inspiring leader that allows her team to confidently venture out of their comfort zones to achieve a purposeful, child lead curriculum. My team consists of uplifting, energetic, hard-working and unique individuals that believe in our Sonas Philosophy and martialise it into our center each and everyday. I love watching and being part of a team that strive to provide a warm and welcoming environment that suits the needs and wants of all our children.

What’s a typical day like for you?
Sonas is a family owned, child focused & family orientated childcare centre.
Our team of qualified and caring educators will use their knowledge and experience to create challenging, inspiring and exciting play and learning opportunities for all children.
The team will build genuine and purposeful relationships with children and their families and promote a safe, secure environment that children easily settle into.
Play Spaces Foster Your Child’s Exploration & Discovery of Their Environment
The Sonas Atwell childcare centre is a new and purpose built facility.
We have designed the centre so all play spaces lead out onto a large nature based outdoor area. This provides unlimited opportunities for your child to venture outdoors exploring and discovering new things from their environment every day.
Each play space provides areas for creativity, experimentation and imagination as well as an opportunity for children to rest and relax.
- The children will be provided with opportunities which appeal to their interests and can consolidate or extend on their learning.
- Children will develop their confidence and self help skills through opportunities to be independent.
- They will practice everyday functional skills and learn to make choices.
Through collaboration and scaffolding each child is able to build on the knowledge they already possess. They will use their senses to explore the world around them fostering an understanding of the natural world.
Every Child is Respected & Treated as an Individual
We recognise that children all learn and develop at their own pace and in their own way and we strive to deliver a positive early childhood experience for every child entrusted to our care.
Your child will be supported by our team of professional educators who will understand their individual needs and requirements assisting them to achieve their best and will provide positive early childhood memories for each child.
Each of our educators invest in their own learning through professional development courses, online research and by being part of the early years community.
At Sonas we believe in a child’s community and by allowing the children to build relationships with children of other age groups we can introduce new skills that will support children as they grow and thrive.
