Meet the Director

Hello, my name is Charissa, and I have been in the Early Childhood sector for 20 years.

However, I started my journey before that, when I was babysitting a family in high school.

I joined Little Saints Early Learning Centre in May 2024, at our Princes Way service. I was given the opportunity to come and support Moe as a secondment while Kayla is on maternity leave.

A little about me: I am a mum of 3, 2 boys and a girl. I love going camping, cooking, reading, and spending time with my family and friends.

My approach to early education is a mix of many different theories.

I nurture children's curiosity by giving them a choice to choose from things like the experiences they wish to engage in and the environment they wish to play in, and provide flexibility for them to continue to grow and learn, However, children also thrive with structure and routine,e which I also provide for them. I support children to play and learn as they navigate their world through trial and error while still providing positive feedback where needed. I provide children time to play with minimal interruption. Children need to know that they are safe, cared for, and secure and that they belong to the world they live in as well as their world while in care. I believe in building strong relationships with children and families as well as the team I work with.

Situated on the main road entering the township of Moe, this warm and delightful service offers 75 places within 5 beautiful classrooms each with an amazing team of experienced and qualified educators dedicated to providing nurturing and educational experiences for every child. Little Saints Moe is well established within the community and utilises these connections to strengthen outcomes for children’s learning, wellbeing and development.

Our 3 & 4 year old kindergarten programs offer supported transitions to school, magnificent outdoor learning opportunities external to the on site playgrounds and engage in many excursions and community programs.

Family connections are a vital part of children’s learning and development which is why utilising the EDUCA app, educators can communicate with families in real time about their child’s day. All educational programs link with the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework and promote outcomes for the child’s individual learning.
