Meet Your Director
Hi there! I’m Anita, the Director of Toowoomba City Early Learning Centre and it’s my absolute pleasure to welcome you to our community.
I have been fortunate to work at this centre for over a decade, and during this time, I’ve had the privilege of sharing in the journey of so many children and families. Watching the relationships formed between our dedicated educators and the children in our care continues to be one of the most rewarding aspects of my role.
These years have provided me with invaluable experience and shaped the way I lead our team in our commitment to quality care and education. Not only as a Director, but also a mother of two myself, I aim to create an environment where educators feel empowered, families feel heard, and children feel safe to explore, learn, and thrive.
I truly believe in the power of laughter, imagination, and connection. One quote that continues to inspire is from Walt Disney: “Laughter is timeless. Imagination has no age. And dreams are forever.” This beautifully captures the joy and wonder we see in children every day and the meaningful work we are so proud to do.
Thank you for trusting in us, to be part of your family’s journey.

Accessing the Child Care Subsidy (CCS)
The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) percentage determines how much subsidy you receive based on your income. Centrelink calculates this percentage using the annual income and the number of children in your family who attend child care. We can assist you in navigating this process, and this CCS calculator can help provide a percentage guide.
