Early Childhood Intervention Specialist/Key Worker

Hi, I’m Kerry! 

I graduated from QUT with a Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood) in 1994. I then spend the next 13 years working and travelling overseas. I have over 25 years experience working with children, teaching, childcare, vacation care, nannying and even as a swimming instructor. Most recently I worked as a Kindergarten teacher at a local Kindergarten in Hervey Bay.

 I believe in child-centred play-based learning and making connections with children is fundamental in any authentic work with children. I am currently studying a Master of Child Play Therapy at Deakin University. 

I really love being in nature and spend time with my family camping whenever we can. I am passionate about recycling and being gentle on the planet. My dream is to live a sustainable life. In the meantime I am a busy Mum of 3 girls. I grew up in Hervey Bay and returned here with my English husband to raise our family. I love being close to my extended family and when I have time I enjoy being in the garden, hanging out with my chooks.
