Educators & Staff
Director/Owner Justine has over 18 years experience in Early Childhood Education Services. She holds an Advanced Diploma in Community Services Management, a Bachelor Degree of Early Childhood Education, a Diploma in Children’s Services and a Certificate III in Children’s Services. Justine has worked in long day care, preschool and vacation care services as well as a Supplementary Support (SUPS) role where she trained Educators in over thirty (30) services throughout the Central West on the inclusion of children with additional and cultural needs. Her qualifications, knowledge and experience ensures a service of extremely high quality.
Regand Park ECEC employ more staff with higher qualifications than required by industry regulations to ensure children are taught by qualified Educators who have current knowledge and experience. This ensures the service is continually up to date with the latest research and developments on early childhood education. Having extra staff also means Regand Park ECEC are able to regularly go on excursions into the community to connect with the people and places they have been learning about. Owners Justine and Karl ensure a significant amount of money is invested back into the service to cover the cost of employing seven (7) extra staff, because research shows that having more staff with higher qualifications significantly impacts on the variety of high quality programs that are offered to children, and high quality early childhood programs give children best possible start for later personal and academic success. As a local family themselves, having the opportunity to provide high quality early childhood education programs to children in the Dubbo area is important to Justine and Karl, and their way of contributing to better society for all.
Regand Park ECEC has hand picked a team of qualified, experienced and caring educators and staff who are responsible for the development, care and education of your child. This team consists of Early Childhood Teachers, Qualified Diploma trained and Certificate III trained Educators, a Chef, and two part time Clerical Assistants.
Regand Park ECEC have also employed a dedicated Environmental Educator and a dedicated Creative and Community Educator. These two positions allow the children to engage in a variety of sustainability activities, learn and engage in creative experiences and formulate strong links within our community and engage in community projects.
All Educators and Staff at Regand Park ECEC are provided with regular opportunities to attend in-service training and workshops to ensure our skills and qualifications are current and in accordance with current practice. The service’s staff are also committed to providing high quality care and education for your child, and the service has been rated as “Exceeding the National Quality Standard” from the Australian Children’s Education & Care Quality Authority (ACECQA).
