Donna Johan

Centre Director

I have worked in and around Children’s Services for approximately twenty years, which has been the most rewarding and fulfilling career I could have hoped for. The thing I have always loved most about working in this sector has been the relationships you develop inside the centres, where each day is unique and always brings you a wonderful surprise. I have always enjoyed being an educator to children and continue to be inspired by what they teach me each and every day. I love to see the friendships in which they develop and the moment in which they show us they are ready to head to school.

Louise McLellan

Early Childhood Coordinator

I have worked in the early childhood sector for over 25 years. Children's happiness is contagious, there is nothing more enchanting than a child's curiosity and the way they investigate and learn. I am extremely passionate about providing children with an educational program that nurture's each child's desire to learn.

Since my senior year in high school I wanted to educate and care for children, as I enjoyed spending time with them. Going to work every day is not like work to me.  I enjoy the time I spend at Kids On Campus and supporting the children I care for to learn, grow and reach milestones to their full potential.

Diploma qualified, and completing studies in Early Childhood Teaching

I chose a career in Early Childhood to help children grow and become a positive influence in their lives. I love seeing the children every day and spending time with them, making them laugh and smile. Since I finished high school I was unsure of a career choice. After a casual trial at a childcare centre I decided it was definitely a career I wanted to pursue which then lead to experience with a range of age groups from babies to primary school aged. Through these times I have learnt how to build personal relationships with the children, getting to know their personal traits and quirks.

I have worked at Kids On Campus for 10 years, choosing a career in childcare because I enjoy interacting with children and their families. I love how every day is different and am supported by my colleagues. Children show us to visualise the world through young eyes which to me, is so inspiring. Watching babies and children develop their unique personalities and reach their milestones gives me a great sense of achievement, knowing I played a positive role in this. It is a privilege to care for babies in an environment that makes them feel safe and secure.
