Emily Minty

Educator

Hi! I am Emily. I am very excited to be working as an educator at Kenmore Park, as the kindy is very special to me. As a child I attended the kindy and, more recently, my youngest daughter loved her year in Pre-Kindy. Whilst a parent at Kenmore Park, I had the privilege of being the Management Committee President where I developed an even greater understanding and connection to the centre and staff.

I am a qualified Early Childhood Teacher with over 14 years of experience, teaching in kindergarten, preschool and Year One groups. I have always been very passionate about young children’s learning and development in the early years.

I am returning to the Kindergarten after having some time off, raising our 3 beautiful daughters. I feel very excited and privileged to be back at Kenmore Park once again.

My name is Emma and I have been working in Early Education for 18 years. I enjoy working with all ages, however, my passion lies with the 3-5 age group.

I am also a mum to four wonderful girls who keep me very busy at home.

I love working with children, every day is different and special. Children offer you so much of themselves and it is a privilege to be a part of their journey.

Jennifer Bishop

Educator

Hello, my name is Jen, and I am excited to join the Kenmore Park Kindy team. As a Mum of two teenage daughters, I soon discovered my passion for children and learning through my own girls journey. It involved assisting at playgroup and then volunteering at school until I undertook to study Education support and became a teacher aide.

I have been in Education ever since my youngest finished primary school, which then led me into early childcare. I believe that children are our future and I delight in spending time immersed in their world. Children display a natural curiosity to their surroundings, and I take great pleasure in assisting and supporting them to live their best life. I welcome the opportunity to learn with your children. Life is a journey, let the fun begin!

Lisa McNaughton

Educator

Hi, My name is Lisa and I’m thrilled to be joining Kenmore Park Kindergarten this year, what an exciting time we have ahead of us.

I have spent over 15 years working with children and families in different roles, dedicated to ensuring that all children are provided with quality care. I see that all families and children need different care and strategies in order to thrive and for me that means applying a holistic approach to the way I care for children. I am a strong believer in continuous professional development and thoroughly enjoy the journey and magical bond that children invite us to share with them.

I have three young, wonderful girls at home and love sharing their excitement for adventure and fun.
