Childcare Educators

Our dedicated educators guide children with warmth and encouragement, helping them grow in confidence, curiosity, and character each day.

Michelle

Managing Director

I’m Michelle. I’m the managing director of Stepping Stones. I’ve been working at Stepping Stones for sixteen years and my role is to take care of the employees and running the centres. I chose this line of work as during my psychology course I became fascinated with children’s psychology and wanted to extend my knowledge in the field, I then furthered my studies and also became a play therapist. I consider myself to be patient, a problem solver and I feel that I am able to understand children’s needs and wants. 

“The most rewarding thing about my job is that in this line of work I am able to make children’s day brighter and messier. My proudest achievement will always be my children and my marriage. In my free time I enjoy outdoor sports, picnics and dancing.”


Stepping Stones Managing Director since 2009

Stepping Stones

early childhood educators.

At Stepping Stones, our early childhood educators are fully qualified, experienced, and deeply committed to the children in their care. Many members of our team have been part of our family for years, bringing consistency, stability, and genuine connection to the centre.

We understand how important continuity is in a young child’s life. That is why our team is made up of dedicated permanent part-time and full-time educators, supported by regular familiar float staff — never unfamiliar agency educators. This ensures that your child is always surrounded by caring faces they know, trust, and feel safe with.
