Meet Our Centre Manager
Hi, my name is Jo-Anne Maguigan, and I am the Senior Centre Manager for both Milestones Early Learning Dawson Street Campus and Day Street Campus in Bairnsdale.
I have worked in the Early Childhood sector now for 36 years in New Zealand, Victoria and in Remote Aboriginal Communities in the Northern Territory, in a variety of roles from Kindergarten Teacher, working in pilot projects as well as Centre Manager.
I have a Diploma of Teaching (ECE) a Graduate Diploma of Education (ECE) and am a fully registered Early Childhood Teacher, I have also been involved with adult education for 30 years both in New Zealand and at TAFE Gippsland.
My Early Childhood Career began due to an interest in development and gifted children, I continued to study further in these two areas and later developed a strong interest in brain development.
I believe every child has the right to be safe and healthy to receive a high-quality Early Childhood Education and to reach their full potential through our Lifelong Learning Curriculum.
I look forward to working with our staff, families and children in both centres.
