My name is Manoela and I am the Centre Director here at Jenny's Kindergarten Stanmore. Feel free to call me Manu if that eases the pronunciation.
I was born in Brazil and had different teaching experiences in the past 17 years. From volunteering in Middle Eastern creches to teaching Portuguese as a second language in the USA. I have lived in Sydney since 2016 and can now call it home.
My passion about education comes from my childhood. My favourite role play was teaching younger kids in my building how to read and write. This interest in education led me to take a Bachelor in teaching followed by a master in Psychopedagogy to expand my knowledge in Early Years development and early intervention. I gained experience as a Diploma qualified educator teaching children from 0-5yrs and also being an Educational Leader, assistant manager and have been a Centre Manager since 2019.
I love spending time outdoors and am a fan of an active lifestyle going often for a beach run and practicing bouldering with my friends.
I’m looking forward to meeting all to introduce myself in person.
