Meet Our Team
Hello, My name is Leah Schmarr and I am the Centre Director of Milestones Budgewoi.

I love working in the Childcare Industry, creating safe and nurturing relationships with both children and their families. Watching the children reach milestones and develop their learning, with so many “wow” moments along the way. Their personalities shine and not one day is ever the same ! I enjoy being a leader to my team and making them realise their full potential, smashing goals along the way.

We're a centre with a small group of fun loving educators who makes it their mission to provide a safe and nurturing environment, inclusive of all children.

Nurturing Growth from 0–5 Years
At Milestones, we offer more than just child care — we provide high-quality early education in a safe, nurturing environment for children aged six weeks to five years. Our experienced educators deliver age-specific programs designed to support each stage of development, helping children grow in confidence, curiosity, and capability every step of the way.
Babies (0-1 years)
Healthy Beginnings Program
Grounded in attachment theory and the relationship practices, this program focuses on building secure, responsive relationships between babies and their educators. With nurturing care and emotional attunement, we support babies’ overall wellbeing and development.
Toddlers (1-3 years)
Early Experiences Program
Inspired by the Abecedarian Approach, our toddler program emphasises language-rich interactions, such as conversational reading and learning games. These early experiences build the foundations for strong communication, social skills, and cognitive growth.
Preschool or Kindergarten (3-5 years)
School Readiness Program
Through Project-Based Learning, children are encouraged to explore big ideas, solve problems, and collaborate with others. This hands-on, inquiry-driven approach develops critical thinking, independence, and a love of learning that lasts.
