Teri

Educator

Diploma in Early Childhood

Education and Care

Hi, my name is Teri.  I was born and raised in Seattle, Washington, USA. In 2014, our family of six were looking for a change and warmer weather. My husband grew up on the Gold Coast, so we decided to take the plunge and move to this beautiful part of the world. I received my Bachelors in Special Education from the USA and after moving, my Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care here in Australia.

I have spent most of my working career in early childhood education. I have four adult children, so I know the importance of quality childcare, where you feel safe dropping your children off in a loving caring environment. I am very excited to have started my employment at GCIT and look forward to getting to know all of your children as a float.

Gabby

Educator

Diploma in Early Childhood

Education and Care

My name is Gabby and I work in the Waterlillies Room with Katherine.  I am a mother of two children whom I adore.  I have recently completed my Diploma in Early Education and Care.  I have been working at GCIT Children’s Centre for almost two years and I absolutely love it.

One of the many reasons I love what I do is because I get to watch the children grow and develop into their personalities.  I also enjoy supporting those relationships with the families, by sharing what the children get up to during the day.  I have always had a passion to work with children and am so lucky that I get to do it here.  GCIT has warmth and homely feel that makes everyone feel welcome

I am so grateful to have the opportunity to be apart of these children’s first five years of life as they are the most important years. I am choosing to learn how to become an educator, as it has been one of my dreams to work and care for children. I am enjoying the opportunity to work in each of the rooms with all different ages. In my spare time I enjoy playing sports, singing, taking my dog on walks and hanging out with friend and family.

Diploma in Early Childhood

Education and Care

My name is Marokh and I have been working at GCIT Children’s Centre since 2000 as a Educator doing relief work.  In the last twenty years I have had the pleasure of meeting and working with some many wonderful educators, families and children.  My position has given me so many opportunities to play an essential part in children’s lives.  Working with such diverse cultures, building strong bonds with the children and their families.

I really enjoy caring for and teaching so many amazing children and helping them develop their physical. emotional, and cognitive skills.  We collectively have created such a fun, friendly, safe environment not only for the children, but the families and ourselves as educators to feel welcome, familiar. secure and happy and we are all able to flourish, nurture, learn and grow.
