Meet Jessica, Your Centre Supervisor
Hi, my name is Jessica and I am the Nominated Supervisor at Little Peoples Brooks Reach.
My Little Peoples journey began in 2013 at the Dapto Little Peoples centre as a casual employee. I then went on to our Lake Heights centre in 2017, as a second in charge Diploma educator, working in the Preschool Room. I was then offered the position of Nominated Supervisor at Lake Heights and in 2021, transferred to the Brooks Reach centre, where I worked alongside the Nominated Supervisor. In 2023 I went on maternity leave and had my beautiful daughter. Upon my return I was offered the wonderful opportunity to become the Nominated Supervisor of the Brooks Reach centre.
Here at Brooks Reach Little Peoples we have an amazing team of educators who are always striving to provide quality care to all of your little ones. The educators aim to form and maintain meaningful relationships with the children, families and community.
Our wonderful educators use their skills and knowledge to encourage all the children in our care to explore, create, imagine and take risks. By doing so, children are encouraged to have a sense of belonging and connection to their world.
Our play spaces are all child-centred and allow the children to self-guide their learning with support from their peers, educators and the educational environment. All of our programs consist of many experimental play opportunities and socially driven experiences, in order for all children to learn through play by exploring and using trial and error in their thinking and problem solving skills.
I believe it is my duty as an Early Childhood Educator to give each child the chance to have a quality educational and the best start in life. I believe in the Urie Bronfenbrenner theory, this is about how the ecological systems benefit children’s development. Highlighting how different environments and influences impact a child’s development. As I strongly believe in this theory, I believe it is evident in my own day-to-day practices in child care. I feel having strong relationships with the child’s influencer(s), enables to build on their child’s development, abilities and skills. From this, I create special bonds with each individual child and enhance their life journey.
My goal is to have a centre where each individual child is thriving and growing in their development to become the best they can be. Children have their own rights and choice in their everyday experiences and I love to learn and listen to the children and families about their backgrounds, culture and religions. I believe all children becoming socially respectful if they are continually learning about different cultures and religions and the diversity of our world in their early years as they are able to adapt to social environments, maintaining a respectful and ethical relationship within the wider community.
Please feel free to contact us to enquire, or book a tour of our service and meet our friendly team. We can’t wait to meet you and your little one!
Warmest Regards,
Jessica Rolet
