Veronica Quality and Support Manager
Years of Experience: I commenced my role as Quality and Support Manager on 25th March 2024 . I bring more than 31 years of experience in the Early Childhood Education and Care sector, supporting children, families, educators, and services to achieve positive outcomes and high-quality practice. Having spent 10 years as a Nominated Supervisor within Childs World Management before moving into my current role, I understand the challenges, responsibilities, and rewards that educators and leaders experience each day. This firsthand experience helps me provide practical support and guidance while building strong, collaborative relationships with the teams I work alongside.
Qualifications: I hold an Advanced Diploma of Children’s Services
What I would like children to learn from me: I hope children learn that they are valued, respected, and heard. Through my interactions, I aim to model fairness, empathy, and kindness, while creating a sense of safety and trust. I want children to know that I am someone who will listen, respond to their needs, and support them to develop confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of belonging.
Why I love working with children: Through my career, I have had the privilege of working alongside many children and families, each bringing their own unique stories, strengths, and perspectives. What continues to inspire me is the way children approach the world with curiosity, excitement, and wonder. Their enthusiasm for learning, discovery, and connection is truly contagious. I am passionate about supporting children to thrive, nurturing their potential, and helping to create environments where they feel safe, capable, and empowered to explore the world around them. Working alongside and supporting teams of educators in my current role has been just as rewarding as working directly with children. I consider it a double privilege, as the guidance, mentoring, and support I provide to educators ultimately filters through to improve outcomes for children and families. Throughout my career, I have built many meaningful connections with educators and have been continually inspired by their dedication, professionalism, and commitment to providing high-quality education and care. I value the opportunity to share my knowledge and experience while also learning from the wealth of expertise, perspectives, and innovative practices that educators bring to their work every day. Supporting educators to grow in confidence, strengthen their practice, and achieve their professional goals is incredibly fulfilling. By working collaboratively, we create positive learning environments where children can thrive, and this shared commitment to excellence is one of the most rewarding aspects of my role.
