Meet the team
My name is Jess Foster, and I’m proud to be the Owner and Operations Leader of Forever Learning Kindergarten and Childcare. With over 15 years of experience in early childhood education, from Educator to Centre Director to Operations Manager, I have dedicated my career to creating nurturing, inspiring, and high-quality learning environments for children.
At Forever Learning, my role goes far beyond operations. I lead with heart and hands-on involvement, ensuring every child feels safe, supported, and valued. I believe that early education is not just about learning letters and numbers; it’s about building trusting relationships, fostering curiosity, and laying the foundation for a lifetime of confident learning.
With a Diploma of Children’s Services, a Certificate in Business, and extensive experience in leadership, health and safety, curriculum support, and centre design, I combine my deep knowledge of education with a strong commitment to excellence.
Every decision we make at Forever Learning is guided by the principle that children deserve the very best start, and families deserve to feel connected, heard, and respected as partners in their child's journey.
Families can feel confident that at Forever Learning, your child’s wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do. I am always available for a conversation, a smile, and to ensure your experience with us feels like a true extension of your family.
I’m Belle Spillman, and I’m proud to be the Executive Leader and Owner of Forever Learning Kindergarten and Childcare. With more than 25 years of leadership experience across the Early childhood and Education, as well as the professional business sectors, I am deeply passionate about our teams delivering exceptional care, meaningful connections, and inspiring learning experiences for all children.
My journey began as an educator through to a centre director, and has evolved into mentoring early learning services across the Nation, setting up high-quality centres, and supporting educators to be their best. Holding a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education, an Advanced Diploma of Community Sector Management, with extensive leadership certifications, I bring a unique balance of educational expertise and strategic leadership to Forever Learning.
At the heart of everything I do is a genuine belief that every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and inspired. Families can feel confident knowing that our service is led with integrity, excellence, and a commitment to continuous improvement, ensuring that your child’s early years are filled with wonder, growth, and strong foundations for their future.
I am passionate about ensuring our teams are fostering a connected community where families feel welcomed, heard, and supported. It is my privilege to work alongside an incredible team to build a place where every child can thrive and where families are true partners in their child's early learning journey.
