About Learn & Laugh Woolooware

Learn & Laugh at Woolooware is an all-new, architecturally designed centre, constructed with outdoor activities in mind. We are located at the Woolooware Bay Shopping Centre. Our centre is separated into 5 large rooms, with plenty of room and space for your child to play and enjoy the brand-new facilities available. We have a beautiful outdoor environment that reflects our educational philosophy and promotes experiences and discussions with the children.

I have over 15 years teaching experience and have been a Learn and Laugh director since 2010. I am excited to be part of the team at Learn and Laugh Woolooware.

I love education whether I am learning or teaching. I have completed a Masters of Teaching Primary and a Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care. My teaching philosophy is very much inspired by Reggio Emilia and by Magda Gerber’s RIE approach. I believe children and babies are capable learners who deserve respect and the best learning environments we can offer.

What I enjoy most about my work is knowing I am making a difference. Early childhood is such an important time. Being granted the privilege of shaping young minds and caring for our future generation is priceless.

My mission for our centre is to provide a warm and welcoming space for children to learn to their highest potential while having fun and knowing they truly belong.
