Meet Tiarna, Your Centre Supervisor
Hi, my name is Tiarna Player, and I am the Nominated supervisor and Educational Leader at Little People’s Early Learning Centre, Lake Heights.
I started my career in Early childhood education and care in 2018 at Lake Heights Little People’s as I completed my Diploma of Early Childhood traineeship. I have spent the last 6 years within the company of Little Peoples and have furthered my education in children’s development. In 2019 I followed my previous supervisor’s footsteps and went to Gwynneville Little Peoples to assist in the process of Assessment and Rating. Later in 2019 I completed my Diploma of Early childhood certificate which I was able to finish a year early. After completing my Diploma, I was offered a fulltime opportunity at Lake Heights Little Peoples in the Early Learning Room. Since then, I have explored all the ages from babies to preschool age. In October 2022 I was offered the amazing opportunity of Nominated Supervisor and Educational Leader at Lake Heights. I am currently working as the Room leader in the Preschool Room as well as the Transition to School Teacher.
Over the many years of being an educator and furthering my education to become a teacher, I have formed many beliefs and have created a personal philosophy on my beliefs. I believe that children thrive through play-based learning and are empowered as educator’s build collaborative partnerships with all families to promote children’s interest, learning and development.
At Lake Heights Little People’s Early Learning centre, we have an excellent and friendly team of educator’s who strive to nurture and educate your little ones whilst building meaningful relationships with all children and their beautiful families. We welcome everyone into our environment with open arms to ensure children and families feel safe and secure within our service.
We are looking forward to meeting you with welcome arms. Please don’t hesitate to contact us to enquire and book in a tour of our service with our friendly team of educators.
Warmest Regards,
Tiarna Player
