Service Manager

Hi, my name is Lily Jankovska and I am the Service Manager at Busy Bees on Ashdale.

I hold a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care and in the last 21 years, I have had the privilege of working in various roles within the centre with many being a part of the leadership team.

I believe in continuous improvement through professional development opportunities which helps me stay up to date with the ongoing changes within the sector.

Watching children grow and reach their developmental milestones brings me extreme joy. I strongly believe that children learn best when they have a supportive, nurturing and caring environment where they feel safe and secure to explore and lead their own learning.

The team of passionate educators we have at Busy Bees on Ashdale is my biggest strength. As Service Manager, I strive to continuously grow, challenge and connect with each and every member of the team. Together we make sure that the needs of every educator in our Service are met which in return helps us provide inclusive and welcoming environments to all children.

My philosophy aligns with Busy Bees Early Learning’s core values and vision: to give each child the best start in life.

I look forward to meeting your little family and welcoming you to our Hive.

Assistant Service Manager

Hello, I am Annelise Frisina and I am the 2IC at Busy Bees on Ashdale located in Darch. I have been an Early Childhood Educator for seven years and hold my Diploma. As a long-term Educator at Busy Bees on Ashdale, I pride myself on continuing to nurture relationships with children, families, educators and the community.

 

I believe the first five years of a child’s life are the most important, and what they learn and achieve in these years will give them the best start in life. This is why I am so passionate about creating a space where they feel safe, secure and supported.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family creating amazing memories.

 

I look forward to meeting you and your family!
