Meet Kerri
Manager, Buttercups Childcare Beechboro/Hull Park
Educating and caring for young children has been my passion for over 30 years. I believe that all children are entitled to quality education and care and aim to provide an environment where, not only the children gain a sense of belonging, but also their families gain a sense of belonging.
My style of teaching stems from the theoretical perspectives of Jean Piaget, Erik Erickson, Albert Bandura, Abraham Maslow and my two personal favourites, Maria Montessori and Loris Malaguzzi. I believe children learn best by being an active participant in their learning and aim to provide a learning environment inclusive of their cultural background, interests, needs and wants.
Children are like sponges – eager to soak up every learning opportunity that are given to them. I will ensure that I provide them with the opportunities to help them to grow in their knowledge and developmental areas so they can be confident individuals ready for the world ahead of them.

stunning nature inspired outdoor playground through the floor to ceiling windows.
Our large outdoor nature inspired playground comprises of 2 areas, one being an enormous play space where the children from all age groupings across the centre can safely interact with each other. Our educators utilise this outdoor area as an opportunity to scaffold the children’s individual social and emotional development by supporting the ongoing engagement between the children of varying ages and abilities. This mixed age space also allows the opportunity for siblings to spend time together across the day.
Our outdoor space also has a smaller enclosed area that is mainly utilised by the children in the younger age grouping but the older aged children may use this space for specific programmed experiences or small outside projects.
The children at Buttercups Beechboro (Hull Park) have the opportunity daily to participate in a flexible indoor/outdoor program with large shade sails covering the outdoor play space in the warmer months and wet weather jumpsuits available for all children during the wetter months.
