our early learning & preschool educators
Our educators are our greatest strength.
Educators choose to work at Terranora Preschool and Early Learning because they want to be part of a highly valued, respected and professional team that supports work/life balance for its educators.
It is for this reason that most of our educators have been with us for 10 years or more. Our team is family.
Maria
Manager
Working in early childhood brings me so much happiness and joy. It is rewarding to see the children grow and flourish while they are in our care.
I have been a part of the Terranora Preschool and Early Learning team since 2014 and thoroughly enjoy coming here every day to work with these amazing children and the team.
Maria’s focus is on the organisational success of Terranora Preschool and Early Learning and unlocking educational opportunities for our children, families and people. Maria’s main focus is on streamlining all systems at Terranora Preschool and Early Learning, whilst supporting and maintaining relationships with families and their children.
“It is crucial that strong, trusting, reciprocal relationships are built with families, children and staff.”

Drielly
I joined the Terranora team in 2023 and I could not be happier with my decision. It is such a fun and enjoyable place to be, the team is so welcoming, and the children are adorable. I feel part of the family already!
Becoming an Early Childhood Educator seemed like a natural progression for me as I started teaching when I was 16 years old. I worked as an English teacher for children in Brazil for 11 years and I have been in the childcare sector in Australia for nearly 7 years now. I hold a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and I am working towards having my degree for teaching recognised here.
In my free time I enjoy travelling, riding my bicycle and spending time with my husband and my two children.
Sami
I have been working at Terranora Preschool and Early Learning since 2022. Working with children is my passion! Fostering a sense of belonging plays a huge part in a child’s life and I strive to ensure all the children feel this.
I love coming to work everyday and seeing all the children’s smiling faces just light up.
Bronti
I have been working at Terranora since the beginning of 2022. I am currently studying my Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care whilst doing my Traineeship. I strive to make the children feel comfortable and welcome by creating an inviting environment where children come to grow and learn and are respected each day. I enjoy interacting with the children through play, song and movement. It’s very fulfilling knowing I am a significant part of their early learning journey here at Terranora.
Rene
I started my career in childcare at Terranora in 2012 after completing my certificate III in early childhood. My goal when I come to work is to provide the children with a safe, secure and welcoming environment when entering their learning space. A sense of belonging plays a huge part in a child’s life and having the opportunity to provide this for children and families, daily makes me proud to be an educator here at Terranora.
