SARAH COURT PRESCHOOL

Teacher

Kim Smyth

In our 4 year old programs there is an emphasis on creativity, problem solving and independent learning skills. Kim is a qualified and experienced educator who enjoys encouraging the children to be creative and innovative. She joined the team at Sarah Court Preschool in 2011 after re-training to join the workforce again from ​maternity leave. Kim enjoyed her own early childhood experience with her children so much she seized the opportunity to change her career path to work in early education.

Kim believes childrens work is play, which supports Sarah Court Preschools play based learning program. She is able to use her own children as guinea pigs for new learning activities with painting, creating or tinkering with odds and ends. Kim enjoys sharing much loved childrens books and discovering new ones with the children she works with. “I am passionate about reading and writing for children, and it is a joy to see children engrossed in a great story. I also enjoy being outside with the children who have not yet learned to worry about the heat, the cold or the wet. The creative ways they play and learn together continues to amaze me.”

Joanne Edwards

Jo assists Kim to create a cheerful and caring environment for the kids to play and learn. Jo started at Sarah Court Preschool when her own children were there over 17 years ago. Jo is now the very proud Grandmother of three, one of whom has just started this year at Sarah Court.

Jo definitely loves to be outside with the children getting her hands dirty. “I love playing in the sandpit and am a star at making volcanos with baking soda and vinegar. I love coming to kinder and watching the children grow throughout the year as they gain more confidence and learn how to do new things.”
