Mandy

ADMINISTRATION OFFICEr dakabin

Mandy is Diploma qualified with over 20 years of childcare experience. With two children of her own who attended long day care when they were younger, she understands the importance of knowing and trusting the team that are caring for your child. Mandy believes every child has the right to grow and learn in a happy, safe, nurturing, and fun environment. Children should be kept safe and treated with care and respect, whether in care or at home. They should have opportunities to learn, develop a sense of belonging, and acquire social skills. Mandy emphasizes that each child is unique and must be treated equally, regardless of ability, social, or cultural background.
