Whiz Kidz Early Learning Centre & Pre-school - Pendle Hill, Bungaree Rd

A Message from our Owner/ Directors:

Monica:

I am one of the Owner/Directors of Whiz Kidz Early Learning Centres and Pre-school. Having spent basically my whole life learning, studying and teaching in the educational system, I really understand how important the early years are as a foundation for growth and future learning. I have many years experience as a high school science teacher and have completed my Masters of Early Childhood Teaching. 

It is not an exaggeration to say that education really is my life! There is nothing I find more satisfying than to watch first hand the transformation that learning imparts to the growing mind. Children’s brains are so receptive to new information, and it is up to us to provide them with the stimuli to discover how exciting the world around them is! More importantly than my educational background, I am also a mother of four young children. Through them I have witnessed first hand the importance of quality childcare in imparting knowledge, skills and confidence. I understand exactly what it is I want to see in childcare, and every day I work hard to make sure that each child that attends Whiz Kidz is cared for in the way that I would want my children cared for. This involves providing them with love and affection, ensuring they are sustained daily with the highest quality nutritional meals, and providing access to stimulating learning resources. 

Together with my sister Marina (an experienced primary school teacher) we have created a unique educational curriculum that is aimed at maximizing your child’s learning experience across six domains. We believe that together these curriculum domains will provide your child with a holistic experience that stimulates them educationally, actively, emotionally and socially

Marina:

I am also one of the Owner/Directors of Whiz Kidz Early Learning Centres and Pre-School. Like Monica, I also have a strong education background, however in a primary school setting as a trained and experienced primary school teacher. Having taught countless children attending kindergarten, I understand how daunting the first days of school are. I have also seen the difference that is made by quality childcare in preparing children for the transition to school. 

I am also a mother to three young children and therefore recognize that for me, the best quality childcare is one that simultaneously provides children with loving care and tenderness and also stimulates them to push their boundaries and explore the world around them. With that in mind, we have opened Whiz Kidz Centres with a view to leading the industry to a higher standards and ideals. 

I understand that children are all unique and learn differently, and therefore we have equipped our Whiz Kidz Centres in such a way that children have access to a multitude of different resources that will maximize their individual learning.

I have drawn on both my educational background and also my background as a mother to co-create our unique Whiz Kidz educational curriculum. School Readiness, something that I am passionate about, is incorporated into every aspect of our curriculum, regardless of your child’s age. We believe that School Readiness is part of the bigger goal of Life Readiness and that this begins from the moment your child is born. 

That being said, there are some skills that are important in making the scary transition to school a smooth process. Our Preschool School Readiness program has been created from the perspective of a kindergarten teacher who understands what are the essential skills that your child needs. These include the traditional numeracy and literacy skills, but also the social and emotional skills that will aid them in navigating their peer interactions in order to create a harmonious learning environment.
