Yellow Room
(2 – 3 years)
3 educators / 15 children
The yellow room educators continue to support the growing independence of each child. The care and learning experiences, along with relationships and interactions ensures each child feels secure, confident and included. The atmosphere of the yellow room is relaxed and happy as the educators and children actively work together for collaborative learning. As in the other rooms of the centre, the flexible curriculum encompasses planned and spontaneous interactions, experiences, routines and events – all to support a holistic approach to learning and development.
For many children in the yellow room this may be the first time they are cared for away from the home. Like in all of the other four centre rooms, our experienced educators work closely with each family to ensure a smooth transition between home and care.

Valecia, Kylie, Jenny & Annie
Valecia is very familiar with the Early Years Learning Framework and children are her passion. She has been working in early childhood since 2005, spending nine years in the one centre. During this time, she gained experience as an assistant educator, lead educator and director before joining the CHCCD community in 2015. She holds a Diploma of Children’s Services and a Certified Supervisor certificate. Valecia finds it rewarding to see children grow and learn every day and is very excited about helping them become the best version of themselves. She loves seeing children have fun in a stimulating environment that can be enjoyed by all. She looks forward to getting to know the children and families of the Yellow Room
Kylie began working in early childhood in January 2016 with us at Carina Heights Child Care and Development. Kylie is currently studying for a Diploma in Children's Services. During her time at CHCCD Kylie has enjoyed working with children of all ages across the centre. Kylie believes that children are products of their environment and are influenced majorly by who they are surrounded by in their early years. She believes it is essential to create a positive and educational environment to lead them in the right direction to be able to conquer the world! Kylie is grateful to be able to influence the children and help them take their first steps.
Jenny (Monday & Tuesday) started at Carina Heights Child Care & Development in 2011 while doing work experience as part of studying a Certificate 3 in Children's Services. After having her 2nd premature baby, she continued her studies and work experience until August 2012 when Jenny became a qualified and valued member of our team. She has since gone on to also complete her Diploma of Early Childhood Education & Care. Looking after children in all rooms and age groups she is very caring, nurturing, motivated and has great time management skills. Jenny has completed a Statement of Attainment for part of a Certificate 3 in Education Support Qualification. She has a daughter in primary school and a son (with a VSD- Heart Defect) who attends the centre, so recognises the importance of children's growth and development throughout these ages and beyond. When not working at our centre she has been a qualified, practising Beauty Therapist since 1996, where again her caring and nurturing nature excels
Annie (Wednesday, Thursday & Friday) is from Ireland where she holds a Diploma in Childcare and a Certificate for Classroom Assistants. She worked in the child care sector for three years in Ireland before relocating to Australia in 2008 where she then worked with a relief staff agency for two years. During these two years with the agency she gained valuable experience and knowledge of the child care sector in Australia. Annie then joined the Carina Heights Child Care & Development team in 2010 where she began her time in our blue room as an assistant. She moved over to our busy red room in January 2011 where she completed a Certificate 3 in Children's Services before making the change to our green room in 2015 & then returning to the blue room in 2016. Annie has two little boys, who both also attend the centre, so as a mum herself she understands how precious each child is. She enjoys playing an important and active role in children’s learning.
