Hello! Welcome to Journey Early Learning Nightcliff, my name is Thushari. I am the Centre Manager and I hold an Advanced Diploma level qualification in Community Services (Children’s Services). I am a mum and a stepmom to three very independent adult children.
My passion for working with children and their families enabled me to engage as an Early Childhood professional for over 33 years. From April 2000 to end of 2022, I already worked as a Centre Director, but it was a holiday to Darwin in 2023 where I fell in love with the beauty of the Northern Territory, its people and culture; and e month later, I commenced working in Darwin as Assistant Director and Educational Leader.
At Journey Early Learning Nightcliff, we thrive on teamwork and passion, key drivers for success in any career. As a team, we are dedicated to instilling this genuine excitement and joy in educating your child, fostering their engagement and enthusiasm for learning. Authentic relationships and open communication are integral to us, ensuring every voice is heard, valued, and respected.
We are excited to welcome you and your child into our nurturing environment so together we can embark on an amazing journey of growth, discovery, and play-based learning.
