Our Team - Greenwith

Elizabeth has worked at Greenwith Early Learning and Kindergarten for over 20 Years. During this time she has had many roles, including Education Leader and Assistant Director and most recently taking over as Director when our original Director Amanda retired.

Elizabeth's vast experience and many years in the educational setting have given her a solid foundation and a wealth of knowledge. She carefully selects her educators to uphold her educational philosophy and maintain her high standards. Elizabeth's role as Director is to guide the Educators, ensuring that flexible and engaging play based learning experiences are always available to all the children. This allows the children to use their imaginations to explore and discover, allowing each child to reach their full potential. Elizabeth's intention is to incorporate the goals of each family along with the child's interests into the programs and practices, to make the Centre and extension of the child's daily home life.

Elizabeth embraces the Centre's open door policy and is always available to speak with parents and can often be seen interacting with the children and immersing herself in the activities of the rooms.

Lidia has more than 25 years experience as a diploma qualified Educator working within the Education and Care profession.

Working with us at our Greenwith Centre since 1996, Lidia's Professionalism, knowledge and caring nature enables her to provide enriching experiences for the children which in turn enhances their growth and development to be at their best.

When Elizabeth stepped up into the role of Director, Lidia's support and mentoring of other Educators, experience across the Centre, relationships with families and her larger than life personality assured us that she would be perfect for this role.

LIdia is always willing to speak with families regarding their children and can often be found in the rooms interacting with the children.

Eleni is a member of the family business and began her administrative career at Northgate Early Learning and Kindergarten since its inception in 2003. She travels between both Centres and provides management and support to our six office administration staff. Eleni ensures that the Centres are efficiently run in their day to day operations and is instrumental in implementing state of the art technology to ensure the Centres are children and family friendly and compliant with the Child Care Subsidy System.

Eleni is also responsible for the integrity of the buildings of both Centres and ensures the strict maintenance schedule is adhered to at all times. This acts to maintain the continual safety of all who enter the premises.

Both the Northgate and Greenwith Services offer a unique brand of Child Care. Eleni, Liz and Jackie work closely together at both Centres to ensure this brand is consistent at both Centres and principals and philosophies are constantly upheld to maintain the point of difference from neighbouring Centres.

The office and reception staff attend to the administrative needs of the Centre and work closely with Management. They meet and greet our families and are happy to help parents and carers in any way they can. All staff have been proficiently trained with the Child Care Subsidy System and can always provide helpful advice on government entitlements and out of pocket expenses.
