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.

Both of my kids found it hard when they first started day care, but all of the staff made so much effort to comfort them both. They now love coming to day care which makes me feel so much better knowing they are happy.

When I drop my daughter off at the baby's room each morning, after her goodbye cuddle, without hesitation she reaches her arms out wide to whichever Educator is there to greet her upon arrival.
