Team Talk
Our Outstanding Team Members
Team Talk is where we celebrate the amazing educators who make Sydney Early Education Centre a special place. Here, you’ll get to know the dedicated team members who nurture our children’s curiosity, ignite their love of learning, and guide them on their early childhood journey.
Every month, Team Talk will feature a different team member from each of our Services, delving into their background, experience, and the unique ways they contribute to our shared goals. You’ll see firsthand the passion, expertise, and commitment that goes into creating a stimulating and supportive environment for all our children.
“Learning and teaching should not stand on opposite banks and just watch the river flow by; instead, they should embark together on a journey down the water. Through an active, reciprocal exchange, teaching can strengthen learning and how to learn.”

Meet the people featured in Team Talk this month
Hi, I’m Bronte, CEEC Magnolia House Campus Leader
I started my ECEC journey in 2018 when I did my traineeship at Northmead Early Education Centre (NEEC). After my Cert. III was completed, I got on a plane and moved to London to be a nanny, working with a variety of different families and ages ranging from 18 months old to 14 years old. In 2020, as my Visa was ending and COVID grew more unpredictable, I moved back to Australia and emailed NEEC. I had spent the previous 7 years working in care-centred workplaces (as a swimming teacher, recreational activities staff in a nursing home, nannying and early years coordinator at a summer camp) and travelling (to over 36 countries), and I knew that SEEC was going to help me grow in my passion for educating and supporting little minds.
I came back to Australia and started a Bachelor of Psychological Sciences as I wanted to further understand the inner workings of a person’s mind. I also started and completed my Diploma in Early Years Education and Care in 2021 to develop my career and grow as an educator. Thanks to the support and mentoring of SEEC management, I was offered and started my new role as the Campus Leader of Magnolia House. It has been an amazing opportunity to build a new community of families, educators and children with the added benefit of working in a beautiful home environment every day.
I have a passion for the understanding and support of children and their families. I truly believe that children are the future, and how we help them now will determine the leaders, teachers, police officers, dancers, builders, chefs, actors and so on…of the future.
My vision and values align with SEEC, especially the importance of…
- Allowing children to make choices to further their learning, development and sense of autonomy
- Valuing the variety of ways children express their creativity
- Understanding the significance of the first five years of a child’s life in promoting self-help skills, independence and emotional intelligence that they can use for the rest of their lives
What game show do you think you have the best chance of winning?
I love the game show 1%! It is a different way of thinking that doesn’t involve general knowledge and fun facts.
However, I have been on a trivia show already as a child because of my love of Maths. The name will not be shared due to the risk of people finding it!
Hi, I’m Froogh,
Certificate 3 in Early Education
I am a caring and dedicated Early Childhood Educator who recently completed my Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care in June 2025. As a mum of three children, I bring a natural understanding of children’s needs and a strong sense of empathy and patience to my role.
I’m passionate about creating a warm, inclusive, and nurturing environment where every child feels safe, valued, and supported. I enjoy engaging with children through play, helping them explore, discover, and build their confidence. As I begin my journey with the Northmead Early Education Centre team, I’m excited to continue learning, growing, and contributing to the centre’s positive and caring environment.
My vision and values align with SEEC, especially the importance of…
- Building trusting, respectful, and positive relationships with children, families, and colleagues.
- Supporting each child’s confidence, independence, and sense of belonging.
- Encouraging learning through play, curiosity, and exploration.
What is your favourite season of the year and why?
Spring — because everything feels fresh and colourful, and it’s the perfect time to enjoy outdoor activities with my kids.
