What does your role involve?

As the Site Manager for Little Learners North Melbourne, I oversee the daily operations of Little Learners North Melbourne. I ensure that our clinical team has everything they need to get the best out of children, whether that is in our centre, out in the community, at home or in kinder. I work very closely with our team of Behaviour Therapists, Behaviour Consultants and our Family Services Manager.

What do you love most about your role?

I love helping to create an environment where our students can learn and flourish. It’s a joy to witness all the wonderful friendships our children make across the year. I also enjoy supporting our team of therapists and creating opportunities for everyone to do their best work.
