Bachelor of Social Science (ECU) – An Approved Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care Services under the NQF. First Aid, Anaphylaxis, Asthma. CHCPRT001 Identify and Respond to Children and Young People at Risk

As an educator, I hold the belief that children are the greatest educators in our world. Our role as qualified professionals is to nurture, observe, guide, and support them as they learn and develop new skills.

In the journey of learning with each child, our team witness their personal growth in all areas. The most rewarding aspect of being an educator in childcare is the opportunity to facilitate learning experiences through play, allowing us to observe children developing in all areas including social, emotional, physical, cognitive, psychological, and language.

I firmly believe that we, as adults, learn just as much from children as they learn from us and from each other. This mutual learning and growth are what makes working in childcare a truly enriching experience.

Overall, it is an honour to be a part of each child’s learning journey and to witness their progress and development. I am committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for each child to learn, play and grow in all areas of their life.

Bachelor of Early Childhood Education – USQ, Graduate Diploma in Teaching and Learning – CDU, Teacher Registration No (WA): 3311 9802, International Diploma in Montessori – MMI, First Aid, Anaphylaxis, Asthma, CHCPRT001 Identify and Respond to Children and Young People at Risk

I believe that children are naturally curious and eager to learn about the world around them. As unique individuals with varying interests and learning styles. children require personalized approaches to education that are tailored to their individual needs.

At the heart of my teaching philosophy is the belief that children are capable and competent learners who benefit most from experiential, play-based learning opportunities. Through play, children can explore, create, imagine, and develop a sense of wonder about the world around them.

As an educator, it is my duty to provide a caring and compassionate environment that nurtures children’s natural curiosity, high expectations, and supports them on their individual learning journeys. I strive to create a safe and engaging learning environment that fosters creativity and spontaneity, allowing children to grow at their own pace and reach their full potential.

Working Towards Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care, First Aid, Anaphylaxis, Asthma

My name is Tanya Howlett and I am passionate about coming alongside children and assisting them to become the person they want to be. I have worked in the childcare field for over 7 years and 1 am a dedicated educator that believes all children no matter their disability or disadvantage deserves to experience and see all that the world has to offer. I have the capacity to work with children aged as young as 3 months and up to teenagers aged 17, the roles in which I volunteer in see me running a community playgroup as well as attend youth group as a leader weekly.

I firmly believe that children learn best in a safe and supportive environment where they feel comfortable to express themselves and ask for help without any questions. I believe that children learn better in a relaxed environment where play based learning is at the forefront and questions are asked to advance their skills.

I am passionate about the inclusion of all children in all activities where they feel comfortable and can easily work to accommodate children into a group setting as best as I can. I work hard to ensure that children’s dignity is protected at all times and will ensure that any information that needs to be shared will be done in a confidential and professional manner at all times.

Creating connections with the children and their families is the best way for me to make the children feel safe when coming into any service that I work within and I ensure that I have an open and friendly demeanour about myself at all times. I believe that the space that children come into should feel like a home away from home so that they are comfortable and the families know that their children are being cared for above and beyond while they have to go to work.

I am a friendly and supportive team worker that works well within a team and will always take any feedback on board to ensure that I am doing my job to the best of my ability.

Babies & Toddlers

I believe every child is unique, capable, and naturally curious. The early years matter—they shape learning, confidence, and a strong sense of self. When families trust me with their children, I see it as a privilege. I care for each child as I would expect for my own, creating a safe, joyful, and nurturing space where they feel valued and ready to explore.

Through play, stories, and everyday moments, I guide children to discover, problem-solve, and build friendships. I support their learning, confidence, and happiness so they feel understood, respected, and loved. I act with the qualities every parent hopes for—patience, kindness, and heart—and I work in partnership with families.

My goal is for every child to flourish, knowing they are supported by both their family and me.
