Dear Families, I hope you’ve had a great week thus far!

Some of you may remember Natalie who used to be with us about 2.5 years ago prior going on maternity leave. The good news is….. she’s now back!

In the 2 years she’s been away, she’s managed to complete her Early Childhood Teaching Degree whilst juggling being a new mum, so hats off to her for achieving that!

You’ll find Natalie mostly in the Babies Room so please feel free to drop in and say ‘hello’. I’m sure she’d love that.

On a sadder note, we say goodbye to our lovely Erin.

As some of you may have noticed, Erin has not been with us for a while now due to ongoing health issues. She has taken some time off but due to the uncertainty of the length her recovery, she has decided to resign from her position as an educator at Kindaburra. It was with great sadness that I accepted her resignation and I have encouraged her to reapply for her position when she’s ready to go back to work. Erin is a hardworking, honest and a valued member of our Kindaburra family. She’s highly regarded by our parents and loved by our children. On many occasions she has been mentioned in our feedback from families as being one of the teachers they wish to thank. I & her fellow teachers speak highly of her and we wish her all the best in her recovery.
