Bao Huynh
Early Childhood Teacher

My journey with Petit ELJ progressed from a Lead Educator into Educational Leader role. Encouraged by Petit ELJ’s nurturing culture, l took on the Early Childhood and Primary Education degree. Petit ELJ further supported me with flexible arrangement to study and gave me the opportunity to become ECT.

I am passionate about building strong relationships with children and partnerships with community. I enjoy empowering families and colleagues to enhance children’s learning with their expertise. I feel very lucky to be part of such a caring and hardworking team who prioritises growth and well-being for all.

Terrence Weinman
Chef

Terrence I really like your food”, said one of the Petit ELJ kindergarten children Jack. Children give honest feedback and it is the best part of my job, I’m happy that I get to put a smile on their faces every day.

I start my day with having children popping into the kitchen to say hello, I greet them with some fresh strawberries. Then we prepare everything on site and fresh on the day.

We conduct weekly cooking classes with children where they learn about various food groups, shapes and colours of food, and their nutritional benefits.

At the end of each day, we update all the pictures of food on Storypark to keep parents updated. Storypark is a way to connect with parents to get their feedback and simply to let them know what the children have been eating.

We have such a diverse community here in Petit ELJ, and we embedded this in our daily programs and events held at the centre. It is so rewarding to work in an environment where different cultures and perspectives are at the forefront of everything we do.
