Meet the team at Little Saints, dedicated to creating a caring environment that prioritises wellbeing and growth for every big little moment. Our team of staff embrace a play-based approach and are guided by the primary carer model, helping to nurture and celebrate your child’s unique skills, talents and dreams.
Meet Penelope, All Saints’ College’s Director of Junior School and our kind-hearted leader.
Penelope is on a mission to make every child's early years count, championing play-based learning and the circle of security model to lay a strong foundation for their thriving future.
You’ll find Penelope starting her days with a yoga routine or a walk at the park with her furry friend, Bimba, kicking off the day with a burst of energy and gratitude. Her heart truly sings when surrounded by her family, especially her grandchildren. And when she's not spreading joy at home or cooking up delicious, fresh meals in the kitchen, she's dreaming of her next adventure, with India topping her travel bucket list.
Meet Kylie, our Little Saints Director and resident environmental champion.
Kylie believes that spending her days with children is not only a privilege, but an adventure filled with joy and wonder. As deeply committed to the learning journey of our Little Saints community as she is to her latest creative hobby, Kylie brings her love of learning and playful spirit to everything she does.
Kylie’s trusty sidekicks include four chickens and Fish (who is a dog, not a fish). Her passion for sustainability and love for the outdoors sees her tearing up the trails on a mountain bike or lounging under the stars in a cozy swag. When Kylie isn’t busy getting her hands dirty in nature or sparking imaginations, you will find her cherishing time with family and friends – including her seven nieces and nephews!
With a heart as big as the great outdoors, Kylie infuses her adventurous and creative spirit into her work with our own little explorers.
Meet Tania, our Little Saints Coordinator who loves being in the world of little explorers.
With over a decade of experience in the Early Childhood sector, Tania’s magic lies in fostering an inclusive wonderland where little ones can learn and grow at their own pace.
For Tania, she spends as much time building relationships as she does with building blocks and is always thrilled to embark on educational journeys with families, ensuring each step, big or little, is memorable.
When she's not sculpting young minds, you'll find Tania soaking up the warmth of her large Italian family or with friends at cozy cafés. Whether she's whipping up culinary delights, donning her running shoes for a half marathon, or exploring new places around the world, you’ll never find Tania without a smile on her face.
Meet Blaise, our Administrative Assistant and adventurous soul.
Blaise is a firm believer in the power of sensory play and play-based learning, igniting sparks of creativity in every little explorer she encounters.
At home, Blaise’s two rambunctious boys and her furry companion, Macy, keep her on her toes. Blaise finds solace in the company of her loved ones, whether it’s heading off the beaten track in a 4WD or cooking up a storm in the kitchen. Her passion for watching little ones grow, learn and evolve is as boundless as her camping adventurers!
With her infectious enthusiasm and dedication, Blaise embarks on the journey of discovery alongside the Little Saints community, one big little moment at a time.
Meet Bimba, our curious and loving four-legged companion!
A wellbeing dog in training, Bimba brings infinite joy, comfort and cuteness to our little ones and staff alike. As our resident therapy pup, she's always there to lend a paw or a cuddle whenever someone needs it most. Bimba's gentle demeanour and intuitive nature make her the perfect companion for fostering a nurturing and supportive environment.
Whether she's spreading smiles during playtime or providing a calming presence during big moments, Bimba is an essential member of our team dedicated to the wellbeing of all who walk through our doors.
Did you know Bimba was named after a traditional Yamatji bush tucker food that is a tree sap, referred to as “bush lolly” due to its sweetness?
Meet Noelle, our resident taste-bud magician!
A big believer in gently awakening young palates with exciting new flavours and textures, you will find Noelle in our herb garden or ensuring each little explorer is getting the nutrition they need without missing out on culinary adventures!
When Noelle isn’t busy creating smiles with every bite, she is ensuring the kitchen is fully stocked with little explorer-friendly tools to help them grow independence at mealtimes.
Noelle enjoys exploring new recipes and sharing the love of cooking with our Little Saints family!
Meet Amy, one half of our spirited twin sister duo here at Little Saints!
Currently completing her Early Childhood teaching degree, Amy loves watching children grow and learn at their own pace and strives to create play-based learning experiences that celebrate each child’s uniqueness and potential.
Regularly embarking on outdoor adventures in her spare time or exploring new countries, Amy brings this love for nature to Little Saints and is passionate about creating immersive outdoor experiences and dynamic learning activities that ignite curiosity.
Meet Anna, the other half of our delightful twin duo!
Anna cherishes time with her close friends and family, loves exploring WA’s beautiful backyard and often goes camping. Weekends are spent with her adorable sausage dog, Ruben, by the river or at the beach. In her free time, Anna enjoys playing footy, mountain biking and hiking.
Currently completing her Early Childhood teaching degree, Anna believes every child is a capable, creative and intelligent learner. Her mission as an educator is to support these qualities and challenge children in meaningful ways.
Meet Allana, our nurturing team member with over 10 years in Early Childhood.
Family is at the heart of Allana's happiness, especially her husband and three beautiful daughters. When she’s not spending time with her family, you’ll find Allana at the beach or lake, in a kayak or on a stand-up paddleboard, or perhaps in the garden or reading a book!
A true believer in the power of community and creating a sense of belonging, Allana loves seeing children engage in learning through play and values hands-on experiences that spark curiosity and learning, helping provide little explorers with the best start in life.
Meet Songmei, our vibrant and ever-curious team member!
Hailing from China, Songmei brings a playful spirit to everything she does. At home, she enjoys life with her husband and their adventurous 8-year-old son. Together, they’re on a musical journey, learning to play the ukulele and filling their home with joyful tunes.
When she’s not nurturing plants or crocheting flowers, you’ll find Songmei staying active with daily exercises. Her passion for sustainability shines through in her minimalist lifestyle. She’s a dedicated advocate for reducing waste and loves introducing recycled materials into children’s play programs. Her creative ideas and green initiatives inspire us all to be a bit kinder to our planet.
Meet Siyu, our passionate educator dedicated to nurturing the bright minds of tomorrow.
Believing that children are far smarter and braver than we often give them credit for, Siyu is committed to creating an environment where every little adventurer feels valued and empowered to explore their potential.
A lover of the arts, Siyu enjoys singing, dancing, and diving into in scientific adventures, and loves bringing this playful spirit to her work. By blending play with learning, Siyu helps children uncover new interests and cultivate a deep love for the world around them.
