“As the Director of this wonderful Centre since its opening in June 2008, I am delighted to call it my second home. Being here brings me a profound sense of belonging, driven by my passion for educating children. I am constantly inspired by their spontaneity, zest for life, and the joy of witnessing their growth and accomplishments. I firmly believe that every child deserves to feel safe, cared for, and valued as an individual. As Educators, it is our responsibility to understand what brings happiness, comfort, and engagement to the children in our care. We view our relationship with families as a partnership, working together to nurture these precious children. Sharing individual insights is crucial for creating an environment where both families and children feel secure and valued. I am privileged to lead a team of dedicated professionals who are committed to fostering a sense of belonging and self-worth in children while preparing them for lifelong learning. I look forward to the opportunity of working with you and your children.”

Our Assistant Director/Educational Leader, Victoria has been part of the Jigsaw family since 2016. Victoria holds a Bachelor of Education (Teaching) in Early Childhood and has worked in the Early Childhood field for over 20 years in both New Zealand and Australia.
“Since moving from New Zealand in November 2016, I found it hard to settle in Melbourne because I missed my home country. However, after starting a job with Jigsaw in April 2016, I quickly found a sense of purpose through teaching and felt a sense of belonging both at work and in Melbourne, which now feels like my home away from home. At Jigsaw, we strive to make our educators feel loved, respected, and secure. Our management team believes it's important for educators to experience these feelings themselves so they can effectively teach them to children and enhance their own self- worth.”
