BEd (Early Childhood)

Co-Director and Educational Leader

Denise’s 20 years of experience supporting children during their early years of growing and learning has developed her passion for planning high quality child centered programs in collaboration with children, families, community and staff. She values children’s individual and unique ways of learning and strives to foster a love of learning within a play-based environment.

Libby, who holds a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education and a Master of Education, began her teaching career in 2011 in Melbourne. She then spent seven years teaching in London before settling in Brisbane in 2022.

Libby’s teaching philosophy emphasises child-led and play-based learning experiences. She aims to create enabling environments that foster children’s ability to resource and extend their own learning, while also building positive relationships to ensure they feel safe and secure.

Sophie has lived in the Camp Hill community since 2010 with her husband Matt and their three children. Sophie graduated from the University of Waikato (New Zealand) with a Bachelor of Teaching (ECE) in 2008. She has gained teaching experience in various educational settings, both in New Zealand and Australia but is particularly ‘at home’ when teaching in community-based kindergartens. Sophie’s focus on play based and inquiry learning showcases her dedication to nurturing children’s curiosity and strives to create a love of learning from a young age. Her passion for igniting children’s enthusiasm for education reflects a commitment to fostering a positive and engaging learning environment.

Julie provides an environment that is rich in experiences, where children engage and learn through play. Since 2021, Julie is proud to be a part of the exceptional team at Camp Hill Kindy. 

When not at Kindy, Julie enjoys spending time with her husband, three adult children, and two dogs, with trips to the beach, camping, and reading by the pool.
