Taylor Salafia

Service Manager

Hi, my name is Taylor Salafia and I am the Service Manager at Busy Bees on Furlong Road.

I have over 7 years of experience working in the education and care sector. I have been working at Busy Bees since 2019, originally as an Educator on the floor. I have strengthened my passion for Early Education and Care during this time. With a desire to provide further leadership to the Busy Bees on Furlong Road team, I stepped into the combined role of 2IC/Educational Leader. In late 2022, I became the Service Manager. These leadership roles have enabled me to further extend my goal of leading the staff team and supporting them to facilitate their growth as educators, ensuring ongoing high-quality care for children.

As a proud Narrungera woman from the Wiradjuri Nation, I am committed to embedding the culture and learnings of the First Nation’s Peoples in all aspects of our Service. I am a strong advocate of ensuring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders’ voices are reflected within the Early Childhood Education and Care Sector. I am passionate about ensuring Busy Bees on Furlong Road is an inclusive and welcoming environment, where all cultures are respected and celebrated. I see my role as an opportunity to provide leadership and support to educators to embrace the cultural diversity of our community at Furlong Road.

I look forward to welcoming your family to Busy Bees on Furlong Road and working in collaboration with you to give your child the best start in life!

Assistant Service Manager

Hello, my name is Jess Pedemont and I am the Assistant Service Manager at Busy Bees on Furlong Road.

I have 17 years of experience in the early childhood sector and school-aged care sector; 10 of those years I have been a director. I have my Diploma in Children’s Services and have recently enrolled to complete my Graduate Diploma in Early Childhood Teaching. I have always been passionate about children’s education and have wanted to work with children from a very young age. I hope to provide every child in my care with a welcoming and happy environment led by happy and content educators who nurture and support them on their learning journey.

I have two little boys and we love to explore around Canberra on the weekends, as well as cooking and baking in the kitchen as much as we can.

We have been at this centre for nearly 3 years and my daughter loves it! She’s getting the education that she needs in a positive and fun way (most days she doesn’t want to go home).
