From Educator to Kinderloop Support: A Little About Me
If you’ve called Kinderloop support, you’ve probably heard my voice on the other end, helping you navigate through your needs. What you might not know is that I’ve spent over 15 years as a diploma-trained educator, and I’ve slowly been working towards my Early Childhood Teaching (ECT) degree. Like many in the profession, I have worn many hats, I have been a director, an educational leader, a room leader, and even worked in inclusion support. But, it’s been a while since I’ve been on the floor, and let me tell you, being back has given me a whole new level of appreciation for the work educators do.
The Everyday Inspiration
I’ve had the absolute pleasure of working at one of the most inspiring centres during my placement. Honestly, it’s been a privilege. Seeing the passion, dedication, and hard work that goes into each day has reminded me why I love early childhood education so much. And it’s not just this one centre; at Kinderloop, we see amazing services like this all the time. We know how hard you work, and we’re here cheering you on every step of the way.
The Passion of Educators: Creating Joy
What really stands out to me is the passion. I see educators using their own time at home to make incredible resources for the children. We’re talking hand-painted story stones, sensory bins filled with fun, and art projects that make you want to dive right in. These aren’t just tasks to tick off a list; they’re labors of love. It’s clear these educators are pouring their hearts into their work, creating magical experiences for the children. It’s not just a job; it’s who they are.
Building Bonds: The Heart of What We Do
Then there are the relationships. Watching how educators connect with children and their families is something extraordinary. You see children run up with smiles as soon as they spot their educators, families stopping to chat and share stories. It’s these connections that make all the difference. It’s about trust, safety, and knowing someone genuinely cares about your child. These bonds are the foundation of early learning, and they’re built with so much care and patience.
The Juggle: Time, Tasks, and Triumphs
Let’s be real—there’s never enough time in the day. Planning, documenting, engaging, communicating—it feels like the list never ends, right? Yet, somehow, educators pull it off. They manage to juggle it all, often without skipping a beat. It’s impressive, and it’s also exhausting. That’s why at Kinderloop, we’re all about making things easier. We want to give you back some of that precious time so you can focus on what really matters—those special moments with the children.
Weathering the Storms: Illnesses and Uncertainty
One thing that’s really hit home for me is how tough it can be when illness strikes or when there’s talk of closures due to the lack of staff. It doesn’t just impact the centre; it affects educators and their families too. Despite all this, educators show up, day in and day out, because they care. Their resilience is something else. They keep things steady and provide a safe place for children, even when things are uncertain. That’s true dedication.
It’s More Than a Job: It’s a Calling
The commitment I’ve seen from educators isn’t just about a paycheck —it’s about passion and purpose. It’s about making a real difference, being a part of a child’s journey, and supporting families along the way. That’s what makes early childhood education so impactful. And that’s why I’m so passionate about my work at Kinderloop, because I know we’re supporting the real heroes—the educators who are shaping the future.
