Hi my name is Jo.

10 years ago I was very lucky to be employed with Rutherglen Kinder as it was always my dream to work in a stand-alone Kinder, I have enjoyed getting to know the community, families and the children and I like running into past children I have taught.  I love dress-up days and the expressions on children's faces when they realise they can accomplish something they didn't think they could.

I live in Wangaratta with my husband.  I enjoy playing tennis, going away with my family and baking for my family and friends.  Another thing you need to know about me is I LOVE the colour blue.

Hi my name is Crystal.

For the past 18 years I have worked in a variety of Early Childhood Education and School settings. I have also had the amazing opportunity to live and teach in Singapore.  During my time in Singapore, I worked with a range of teachers from around the world and taught many different students from different nationalities.  Through this incredible experience I developed the love of travel and learning more about the world we live in.  I hope to share this knowledge and experience with the students I teach in the future.

Hi I'm Erin

I am a mum of a beautiful boy.  In my spare time I love to spend time with family & Friends and building Lego with my son.  I have had the privilege of working in the Early Childhood field for over 12 years.  I have worked in a variety of settings; childcare, Kindergarten and after school hours care.  I have had the honour of sharing and observing many milestones and achievements with the children during that time. There's nothing better than to see the smile on a child's face when they learn something new or achieve their goals.  I look forward to getting to know your families and celebrating your a child's achievements with you.
