Service Manager
Hi, my name is Ashton Meadows and I am the Service Manager at Busy Bees at Cameron Park Preston. I have been a part of the Service since it opened it’s doors in 2017. I began as a Lead Educator and second in charge before stepping into the role of Service Manager in 2019.
I hold my Diploma in Children’s Services and have been a part of the Early Childhood sector for the last 10 years. I am passionate about providing quality education and care for all children through our learn through play philosophy, and believe this is achieved when Educators, families and communities are working collaboratively.
I have had the opportunity to travel the world and view the similarities and differences in Early Education and Care across the globe and believe a Service should provide a nurturing, homelike and child-led learning environment. Busy Bees at Cameron Park Preston has an open door policy and we welcome all families into our Service to meet our friendly staff and experience our amazing learning environments. I can’t wait to meet you.
Assistant Service Manager
Hello, my name is Katherine Spencer and I am the Assistant Service Manager for Busy Bees at Cameron Park Preston. I have been working as an Early Childhood Teacher at this Service since 2018. After settling into the Service and getting to know children, families and Educators, I moved into the second-in-charge role in early 2022.
In my 10 years of experience teaching children across Newcastle, I have built a wide range of skills in the education field. My core passion is advocating for children and finding ways to include the ideas of respect. I work closely with children and Educators everyday to examine how we demonstrate respect—from words to actions.
As we work and play on Awabakal land, I find ways to include Indigenous perspectives. I embed authentic experiences that inspire children and families to make valuing First Nations people an everyday learning opportunity.
As a strong supporter of celebrating diversity, my role at the Service is to question long-held beliefs and encourage new thinking. I strive to ensure everyone feels heard and represented within our walls. I welcome all families and children into our Service, providing a warm and nurturing environment. I am passionate about the inclusion of all, deconstructing the ideas of cultural diversity, gender roles, well-being, resilience, family units and children with additional needs.
I have enjoyed building my leadership roles in this capacity and view open communication as a vital tool. As the Assistant Manager, my role is to support Ashton and our team to create the high quality Service we all want to be at.
In the spirit of reconciliation, Busy Bees Early Learning acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and recognises First Nations peoples’ continued cultural and spiritual connections to land, sea, sky and community. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
