"Thirty years in, and I still cannot wait to get to work on a Monday."

People ask me when I'll slow down, and the honest answer is: why would I? This work has given me more joy than I could ever give back to it.

At Greenbank we hold a really high bar. Not because of inspections or reports, but because the children deserve it. Every single day.

The best part of my week is when a child runs over with a drawing they made for me. That's the whole job, right there.

About my team

After thirty years I know exactly what I'm looking for: educators who love children, love learning, and love showing up. Everything else can be taught.

Our team at Greenbank hold each other to a high standard, and they do it with kindness. Families should feel reassured the moment they meet us, and that's earned, every shift.

Child Care Subsidy

Are you getting the most out of your Child Care Subsidy?

We know the subsidy can feel like a maze, and it's really common for families to be unsure exactly what they're entitled to. The good news: you don't have to figure it out alone. Pop in for a chat at Greenbank and our team will sit down with you, walk through your situation and help make sure you're getting the right level of support for your family.
