Meet Emma, Your Centre Supervisor
My name is Emma Chatfield, and I am the nominated supervisor and educational leader here at Woonona Little Peoples Early Learning Centre.
I have been in the childcare industry since 2016 and have recently completed my Bachelor of Early Childhood Teaching at Charles Sturt University.
I have been with Little Peoples in Woonona since 2019 working alongside a collaborative and supportive team of educators. During my time in early childhood, I have learnt and gained a greater understanding of the early years and how to enhance learning and development for young children. I am dedicated in providing children with an environment where they can grow and learn with constant support.
I enjoy developing positive relationships with children and their families here at Little Peoples Woonona and look forward to meeting new families that begin their journey with us in the future.
Meals
Morning tea, Lunch & Afternoon tea are all provided
At Little Peoples we believe that healthy eating habits are formed in early childhood and that children’s nutrition is important to their health and life long development, that is why our nutritional menu incorporates the daily dietary requirements of children.
Our Service receives fresh and nutritious meals delivered to us daily by Kids Gourmet Food. The menu rotates every six weeks exposing children to the broadest range of flavours, textures and ingredients, while ensuring they are receiving the recommended nutritional intake every day.
Information for Parents | Kids Gourmet Food
If your child has any special nutritional needs, food allergies or sensitivities, please let your centre supervisor know.
