Our team

I am proud to be the Centre Director at Everlearn Preschool in Prestons. Having served as Centre Director for the past two years, it has been a privilege to lead our wonderful preschool community and support the children, families, and educators who make Everlearn such a special place.

Originally from Poland, I was raised and completed my studies in County Kerry, Ireland, where I earned my Bachelor of Early Childhood Care and Education and became a qualified Early Childhood Teacher. My career in early childhood education has spanned a variety of roles, beginning with direct work alongside children from birth to 12 years of age. During this time, I supported children from diverse backgrounds and with a range of individual needs, while building strong and meaningful relationships with families.

Before moving to Australia, I spent four years leading and managing successful early childhood education programs in Ireland. These experiences strengthened my passion for creating high-quality learning environments where children feel safe, valued, and inspired to learn.

At Everlearn, I am committed to ensuring every child experiences a positive, nurturing, and engaging preschool journey. I strongly believe that children are capable, confident learners who thrive when educators and families work together in partnership. My goal is to create an environment where every child feels a strong sense of belonging, develops confidence in their abilities, and is supported to reach their full potential.

Over the past two years, I have had the pleasure of getting to know many of our wonderful families and watching children grow, develop, and flourish within our preschool community. I am incredibly grateful for the trust families place in us each day and value the strong relationships we continue to build together.

I welcome open communication and encourage families to reach out at any time with questions, feedback, or simply to say hello as you pass by the office. Building strong partnerships with families is at the heart of everything we do.

Thank you for trusting us with the privilege of caring for and educating your children. I look forward to continuing to support your family throughout your child’s early learning journey.

Hello, my name is Natasha, and I am the 2IC at Everlearn.

Originally from the beautiful island of Fiji, I moved to Sydney in 2011 and now live with my husband, son, and daughter.

I have a teaching background from Fiji, hold a Diploma in Early Childhood Education, and am currently studying towards my Bachelor’s degree. In my role, I work closely with the management team and educators to support children, families, and staff.

I believe that all children are individually beautiful, different, and unique. As an educator, I value each child’s strengths, interests, knowledge, and skills, and I strive to create a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where every child can thrive.

What I enjoy most about working at Everlearn is building meaningful relationships with children and families and watching children grow in confidence, develop new skills, and reach important milestones. I am passionate about supporting children’s learning and wellbeing and feel privileged to be part of their early learning journey.

I am the Room Leader in the Navy room. Originally from Ireland, I have a deep love for working with children and I am passionate about supporting every child to reach their full potential.

My passion for early childhood education led me into the childcare industry, where I worked as a Montessori and Preschool Room Leader in Ireland. In November 2019, I moved to Australia and have since worked across a variety of early learning services in Melbourne before settling in Sydney. I have over 11 years of experience in the childcare industry and have been part of the Everlearn community since October 2023.

Throughout my career, I have worked as both a Toddler and Preschool Room Leader and have also taken on leadership and managerial responsibilities. These experiences have strengthened my commitment to creating high-quality learning environments where children feel safe, supported, and inspired to explore.

My philosophy is that every child is unique and develops at their own pace. I believe in taking the time to understand each child’s individual strengths, interests, and needs so I can support them in the best possible way. I strive to create a warm, inclusive environment where children feel safe, valued, confident, and encouraged to learn through play and meaningful experiences.

Most importantly, I believe learning should be filled with joy, laughter, and fun. By creating positive experiences every day, I hope to inspire a lifelong love of learning in every child.

I began my journey with Everlearn as a casual educator while completing my Bachelor’s degree. After graduating, I was officially offered a position as an Early Childhood Teacher and joined Everlearn Prestons, which is an amazing centre!

I come from a small town in Malaysia, and this year marks my 10th year living in Australia. I am the eldest among my siblings, with one sister and one brother. In my spare time, I enjoy playing games with my family and crocheting.

I am deeply passionate about teaching art and craft, as I believe they play an essential role in children’s early learning and development. Creative experiences support the development of fine motor skills, problem-solving abilities, and confidence, while also encouraging imagination, curiosity, and self-expression—all of which are vital foundations for lifelong learning.

Working at Everlearn has always made me feel welcomed and supported, and it has given me a strong sense of belonging. I am truly happy to be part of such a wonderful and supportive team.

I look forward to building meaningful connections with both children and families at Everlearn and supporting each child’s learning journey in a positive, nurturing, and engaging environment.

My name is Miss Thomas, and I am thrilled to be a part of your child’s learning journey this year. Originally from England, I moved to Australia six years ago and quickly found a home here within the Everlearn family.

As a dually trained Primary and Early Childhood teacher, I have had the privilege of working across a number of key learning areas within our service. This year, my role allows me to connect with children across the entire preschool. On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, I will be working across all rooms to cover planning and observation time. On Wednesdays, you will find me in the Communication area, and on Fridays, I will be leading the fun in Art and Craft.

I am deeply passionate about supporting children through these foundational early years. I hold a special interest in helping children develop their independence and emotional regulation skills, ensuring they feel confident, capable, and secure in their environment.

A Little Bit About Me
When I am not at the centre, I love exploring the world and learning about new places through travel. I am incredibly passionate about the outdoors and being immersed in nature, and I am always looking for new skills, activities, and hobbies to learn!

I look forward to a wonderful year of growth, creativity, and discovery with your children. Please feel free to say hello when you see me around the centre!

Every child is different, and I love encouraging them to express themselves, explore their interests, and celebrate what makes them special. Watching children grow in confidence, learn new skills, and achieve milestones big and small is incredibly rewarding.

I believe children learn best when they feel safe, happy, and supported. My goal is to create a warm, nurturing, and fun environment where children feel comfortable to be themselves, take risks in their learning, and build positive relationships with those around them. I love incorporating play, creativity, laughter, and meaningful experiences into each day.

Hello, everyone! My name is Monica and I am very thrilled to be back part time after taking 2 years of maternity leave. Previously, I had been working at the Everlearn Centre in both Clovelly and Prestons for over 6 years. My little one, Nadine is in Navy Group now and is having the best time of her life. It feels so great to be back at Everlearn Prestons, a place I can call “second home”. I am very lucky to be a member of the beautiful team, who dedicate their love and caring program to the children.

Being a new mum has given me a deep, firsthand insight into child development and emotional reality of raising a child. I believe in acknowledging that all children are unique and valued individuals with varying interests, strengths, abilities, developmental stages and backgrounds. Therefore, I enjoy building relationships with each child as an individual, through implementing child-led play-based learning as well as celebrating cultural and linguistic diversity. I speak Indonesian, English, Japanese and a little Mandarin, and would also love to learn more languages.

I hold a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and have over 8 years of experience working in the early childhood sector.

My interests and hobbies include health, nutrition, and reading. I believe that every child is unique, with their own personality, strengths, interests, and ways of learning. I am passionate about getting to know each child as an individual, supporting their development, and creating engaging, meaningful learning experiences. I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment where children feel valued, respected, and confident to explore, learn, and thrive.

I chose to work at Everlearn because of its strong commitment to high-quality early childhood education and its focus on building positive relationships with children and families. I was also drawn to the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the centre’s dedication to supporting each child’s individual learning journey.

I enjoy working alongside a passionate group of educators who share a common goal of helping children reach their full potential. It is incredibly rewarding to be part of a team that celebrates children’s achievements, supports one another, and creates meaningful learning experiences every day.

I have been in the early childhood industry for over 10 years and joined the Everlearn family in July 2024. I have thoroughly enjoyed my transition to Everlearn. The centre, team, and learning environment are truly exceptional and have made my experience both rewarding and enjoyable. The supportive culture and high standards throughout the organisation are second to none, and I have greatly valued being part of such a positive and professional environment.

My greatest passion is children. I love watching them learn, succeed, and grow each and every day. Their curious little minds also teach us so much, and that is something I am truly grateful for. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active through sports, particularly soccer, and spending time outdoors. These interests have helped me develop teamwork, resilience, and a positive approach that I bring to both my professional and personal life.

I am a Diploma-qualified Early Childhood Educator. I have been part of the Everlearn Preschool team for over 13 years and feel incredibly fortunate to work in a profession that I genuinely love.

I grew up in North Queensland before moving to Sydney with my family. Coming from an Italian background, I was raised with strong family values, which continue to influence both my personal life and my approach as an educator. I am married, have two children and a beautiful grandson, and enjoy spending time with family, cooking, gardening, and enjoying a good coffee.

What I love most about working with children is their curiosity, enthusiasm, and unique personalities. I believe children learn best when they feel safe, supported, and valued, and I strive to create an environment where every child feels a strong sense of belonging and confidence in themselves.

One of the reasons I have remained at Everlearn for so many years is the wonderful sense of community and the genuine care shown by both the team and families. My hope is that every child leaves my care with happy memories, confidence in their abilities, and a lifelong love of learning.

I have been working in the early childhood education and care for nearly four years. I hold a Certificate III and a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care, and I am passionate about supporting children’s learning, development, and wellbeing during their early years.

Originally from Baghdad, Iraq, I speak English, Arabic and Chaldean, and I value the opportunity to work in a diverse and multicultural environment. One of the aspects I enjoy most about working with children is listening to their stories, ideas, and unique perspectives. Their curiosity, creativity, and sense of humour bring joy to every day. I also love learning about the different cultures and backgrounds of the families and children in our community, as it helps create meaningful connections and promotes inclusivity.

In my free time, I enjoy drawing and shopping. Drawing allows me to express my creativity, which I often incorporate into activities with children.

I chose to work at Everlearn Preschool because of its excellent reputation and the positive feedback I received from previous staff members. From the moment I joined the team, I was welcomed into a supportive, professional, and nurturing environment.

I always have some creative ideas and have already designed various aged-appropriate games and activities in order to improve their multi-level developments. I believe that the early stage of life has an enormous influence towards a person’s future, therefore, I would like to fully use my passion, patience, enthusiasm and knowledge to guide children to develop their skills and help the children happily enjoy their childhood lives.

Hi, I’m Liz, the Office Manager at Everlearn Preschool Prestons.

I was born and raised in London, England, before moving to Australia and spending my teenage years on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales.

As a parent myself, I have a special connection to our preschool, with both of my children currently attending Everlearn. This gives me a unique understanding of the importance of creating a welcoming, supportive, and nurturing environment for children and their families.

The concept behind Everlearn was three years in the making before we opened our first campus in 2010. Being a primary school teacher myself at the time, and looking for suitable a preschool for my own daughter, I saw a desperate need in the Sydney area for preschools with a strong focus on early education, school readiness, and values education. With a clear understanding of the social, emotional and academic skills that children need to successfully transition into the primary school world, I set out to create a preschool that balances these skills and helps children to develop a love of learning and a sense of belonging in their formative years.

For the past 17 years, I have had the privilege of working alongside Nichola and our dedicated team of educators at Everlearn Preschool.

During that time, I have seen thousands of children walk through our doors and grow into confident, capable and resilient young people, ready to take the next step in their learning journey.

As both a member of the Everlearn team and a parent, I have experienced firsthand the impact that high-quality early childhood education can have on a child’s development. My eldest son attended Everlearn before moving on to primary school, where he is now thriving, and my youngest child is currently attending Everlearn.

Every day, I see the positive influence our educators have on the lives of the children in our care. From supporting children’s social and emotional development to inspiring curiosity, independence and a love of learning, their work helps shape the foundations that children build upon for years to come.

I am incredibly proud to support our educators and the meaningful difference they make during some of the most important years of a child’s life.
