Live and work where you holiday as a Goodstart educator in Cairns
Sara Thao shares all about her life and thriving early learning career in Regional QLD.
I have a Bachelor of Early Education - Birth to five years with over 20 years’ experience in the early years industry. I have been at Huntley Street now since 2019, with some of our educators also joining the centre when it first opened in 2016.
I am originally from Manchester in the UK and after completing my Diploma in early education I decided to go travelling, with the intention of going for one year. 15 years later I still call Sydney home!
I am very passionate about fostering positive relationship with each and everyone of our families and ensuring they feel trusted with us in a warm and welcoming environment. I want everyone to feel a sense of belonging and for them to share a home away from home with us. We know that children thrive and learn best when their environment is safe and they feel nurtured with those around them.
Respectful interactions with the children is embedded through our philosophy here at Huntley Street and giving them opportunities to learn through our play based programme. We support the children to be independent and autonomous in everything that they do while also giving them skills to take through into their later years.
Our centre features two large outdoor play areas for children of all ages to use. They can enjoy the fresh air while exploring through the natural greenery, the tall bamboo trees, digging in the sandpit and is a tranquil oasis for the children to enjoy at all times throughout the day.
We would love to welcome you into our community and for you to start this exciting new journey with us.
I would be proud to show you our beautiful centre and share with you why the team and I love Huntley street. Feel free to book a tour today!
