Supporting team

Hi, I am Nilu. I am the centre director at Deep Creek Childcare centre.
I have been working in Early childhood for more than 20 years. In my role, I am fortunate to work closely not only with children but also their families and my team. I value inclusive practice and respectful relationships with children, families and my colleagues.
At Deep creek Childcare Centre, We value, recognise and respect each child and their families as unique individuals regardless of culture, custom, belief, gender or nationality. We provide a warm, welcoming, friendly, caring, and safe environment for children so they can develop a strong sense of community through belonging, being and becoming.
Hi, my name is Sam, I’m originally from a small town called Albany which is right on the coast of Western Australia, I have been working with children since I was 15-year-old, either in childcare or working as a teacher’s aide in a Primary school where I was lucky enough to work with children with additional needs. I have been working at Deep Creek for 8 years, I find my job to be very rewarding, and enjoy coming to work every day. I moved to Melbourne to be with my husband in 2002, I have 16-year-old twins.
When I have some down time, I enjoy reading and photography.
