NADIA
CENTRE OWNER
My knowledge and experience with children as well as my experience as a mother is the fundamental reason why I am so passionate about childcare. I value the relationships and bonds that I have formed with both the families and the children at the centre. My aim is to provide a nurturing, safe and happy environment for children to thrive.
JULIA
DIRECTOR
My favourite part about working in the Early Childhood industry is being able to make a difference in the lives of young children. Being an educator is extremely rewarding and I love being able to create close and meaningful bonds with the children across the centre. I come from a scientific background and enjoy incorporating aspects of my knowledge into planned experiences at the centre.
LAURA
CENTRE OWNER
I come from an educational background with a Bachelor of Education. I have always been passionate about children. It is important to me to create a safe space for children to feel nurtured, safe and supported in all aspects of education and life. This is reflected in the way we run our centres as we encourage all children to be their own unique selves.
RAMY

Entering into the world of childcare was a path we chose to take as a family. Myself, my wife Nadia and our two daughters Julia and Laura are all passionate about education and creating opportunities for young children to flourish. I have enjoyed growing in this industry and maintaining strong relationships with families and staff. As a team, we create the Cool Bananas culture!
