A Word from Rhonda

Hi, my name is Rhonda.

I have been working at Jumbunna for just over 4 months on a casual basis and have worked in many areas within the preschool. Before starting at Jumbunna I was employed as a child Educator for 12 years working with Family Day Care.

My real journey with Jumbunna began 7 years ago, my own child attended Jumbunna due to speech delay, and then I continued to enrol my next two children. As a parent I was lucky to experience the opportunities that Jumbunna offers and I am so grateful  that  my children  learnt  in an amazing environment and we had  great support from all staff  before they attended their next adventure in their life.

I love how I am able to continue my passion for children’s development and learning, also for myself to continue learning different fun and exciting techniques to engage and encourage all children to grow, develop, and learn, and I am thankful to all the knowledgeable and dedicated staff that helps at Jumbunna.

The most enjoyable part of my work is to be able to listen and interact with all children and be part of their beautiful creative imaginations, hear how confident they are when we have conversations about their stories, watch them grow, also to be able to laugh with the children and to hear them laugh.

Children learn and develop through their everyday play and their own interests and Sometimes the children teach me a few things too, I enjoy my time working at Jumbunna and I am extremely grateful and proud to continue my role as an educator and if I can put a smile on the children’s faces every day I have completed my role as an educator.

Thank you

Rhonda
