At Elements Geelong West by Busy Bees, children will develop their imagination and creativity, their knowledge, independent thinking skills and sense of wonder through exploring their own ideas and interests. They are supported in this pursuit by a team of warm, nurturing, professional educators. This learning is facilitated in an environment that is friendly, homely, secure and inviting, rich with experiences and adventures.
We believe that our programs foster children’s curiosity and enthusiasm for discovery and learning, and cultivate learning-to-learn habits. Early childhood is not a time to emphasize learning achievement and competitiveness among children; it is a time to foster positive values about learning and to build a strong developmental foundation for a healthy, happy life.
Hi I’m Tina and I am the Service Manager at Elements Geelong West by Busy Bees. I have worked in the children’s services industry for 13 years, having completed my Diploma in 2009 and over that time have worked as Educator, Room Leader, Educational Leader and Director across a range of age groups in many services within Geelong and Melbourne.
Children are the core of everything we do and I consistently remind our teams of the importance of this when they are interacting with the children within their spaces.
My key focus area is strong reciprocal relationships with all stakeholders, especially our families. I enjoy developing positive relationships with the children, families and team members to ensure everyone’s experience is positive across the Service. My belief is that if families feel secure in the care setting, their children will then in turn feel that security as well – sensing the security from their parents. Mentoring team members is also another focus area and I am passionate about the team developing themselves professionally.
Personally, I live in Torquay with my partner Mark and have 3 adult children who live out of home – Mitchell, Callum and Lachlan. In my spare time, I enjoy going to the beach, paddle boarding, walking our dogs, reading and spending time with family and friends.
