Meet Our Educators

At Thornleigh West OOSH, we have a qualified Director, 2 Assistant Directors, a number of permanent part-time educators, and a team of wonderful regular casual educators working between 2 and 5 afternoons a week. All educators have current working with children checks completed, and most of our Educators hold current First Aid, Asthma, and Anaphylaxis training qualifications. Our Educators have a range of skills, knowledge and experience from experience in early childcare, studying teaching, psychology and occupational therapy to having experience coaching sporting teams, swim coaching, and running youth groups. With the great continuity amongst the team and our educators are able to develop close and trusting relationships with all the children in our care.
