Meet our Staff

My Name is Lindsay Duck & I am your Centre Director here Holland Park! You will also notice that I am the Centre Director at our sister service in Eight Mile Plains as well 😊

I have been working in this sector for over 12 years now & have been in a Centre Director role for over 10 years. I have completed my Advanced Diploma in Early Childhood Education & always participating in ongoing professional development and child psychology courses.

The early years of a child’s life are very busy. I know my life before my love of early education has only emphasized to me what I was meant to do. I believe learning id happening all the time and is interwoven between all developmental domains. Which is inclusive of physical, social/emotional, cognitive and communication.

Therefore, my goal is to make on going learning experiences safe, positive, and fun, nurturing the whole child as I strive them into the next stage of development with confidence in themselves and an excitement for continued learning.

As a pedagogical leader, I work alongside my educators and support practices that enable them to be thoughtful and intentional about their work with children. I promote a deep professional and pedagogical engagement through research, reflective practice, and critical, collaborative dialogue.

Families and parents are our children’s most important relationships. These may take on may forms, all of which are equal importance to the child.

I will try absolute best to be the best leader for the children that I work for, by role modelling appropriate behaviours, not only with the child, but families and colleagues a well. Making sure I am knowledgeable with current trends and issues in all early childhood education and other areas that affect those in this sector.

With 17 years of experience at our center, I am committed to cultivating an inviting and supportive atmosphere where every child feels a sense of belonging. In my role as Assistant Director, I believe that forming strong connections and relationships is essential to effective teaching, and I work to nurture a caring and inclusive learning environment.

I am dedicated to contributing my extensive knowledge and expertise to the program, with the goal of positively influencing each child’s growth and development. I am passionate about working closely with families and colleagues to create a rich and joyful educational experience for everyone involved.

With over 10 years of experience in the Early Childhood Teaching sector, I am passionate about creating a warm and welcoming environment where every child feels like family. Building strong connections and relationships is at the heart of my approach, and I believe these bonds are essential for fostering a nurturing and supportive learning community.

My commitment is to bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the program, continually seeking to make a meaningful impact on each child’s development. I am excited to embark on this journey, collaborating with families and colleagues to create an enriching and joyful learning experience for all.
