Meet Our Team

Hi, my name is Donna and I'm the Centre Manager at Milestones Early Learning Ballan. I have been a part of the Early Childhood Sector since 2006 and hold a Diploma in Children’s Services. I am a passionate and enthusiastic Early Childhood Educator, Teacher, and Manager and I am proud to be a part of the Milestones team.

What inspires me most about Early Childhood Education is witnessing children grow, discover, and support them in fostering their learning and development through fun and meaningful learning spaces. It's truly rewarding to be part of a child's journey, from their first steps to their adventures at school. I take pride in leading this incredible team and being part of the community, working together to achieve the best possible outcomes for all children. I firmly believe that every child deserves the right to a nurturing, educational, and, most importantly, fun environment where they can freely explore their surroundings and learn through open-ended play experiences.

I eagerly anticipate meeting you at the centre!
