Welcome to the team Elly!
Elly has joined our growing Choklits team in our Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten Room.
Elly finished Year 12 last year and is undertaking a traineeship with us to obtain her Certificate III.
Elly has done over 1000 hours of volunteering in child care and is very passionate about working with children. She believes that “Children need to experience differences to be happy with theirs”.
Elly has cerebral palsy and works with her abilities to manage for this.
We are very happy to welcome Elly to the Choklits community and look forward to being part of her training, development and supporting her in her studies as she supports our early learners in their own study.
Over to Elly…
My passion for early childhood education stems from a desire to create an inclusive environment where every child feels safe, valued, and welcome. Early childhood is a beautiful, rapid time of growth, and I love being the person who guides children through their first social interactions, emotional breakthroughs, and creative discoveries. To me, this work is about honoring the unique cultural background and identity that each child brings into the room. By building a strong sense of belonging and partnering closely with families, I get to ensure that every child—regardless of their starting point—gains the confidence and skills they need to thrive. Witnessing their unfiltered curiosity and daily milestones is incredibly fulfilling, and it motivates me to be the best educator I can be every day.
Throughout my career I’ve been most proud of passing my Diploma in early childhood education and care. Helping children adopting appropriate behaviours. Maximising their learning and growth. Coming up with new activities that they enjoy.
When I’m not at Choklits I enjoy walking in beautiful parks and walking my dog.
The cutest, funniest or most beautiful thing a child has ever said to me was “You are the best!“
