Handprints Management Team
Julia
Managing Director
“Early childhood education is my biggest passion. I love teaching, I love watching children learn, I love creating environments and spaces for children to explore.”
Nikki
Operations Manager
“I fell in love with the early childhood profession at a young age and have been a teacher, director and manager. I completed by Diploma in Early Childhood Education, and then went on to complete my Bachelor of Teaching (Birth to Five years). Working for Handprints is more than a job for me, it’s a passion. I enjoy working with our directors to implement quality practices and engagement for our families and children, as well as ensuring meaningful experiences for our educators too.”
Andrew
“Husband to Sally, Dad to Julia and Grandad to Elliot, Hudson and Charlie. I have been working with Julia on her Handprints dream since the concept began. I gave up my “day job” to become full time support for Julia and the team at Handprints. My involvement is many and varied but includes book keeping, IT problem solver, general maintenance, flat pack assembler etc. Basically I will do anything I can do to make it easier for the “hands on” staff to be able to carry out their work with the children of Handprints to the best of their ability.”
Sally
“I worked for the Department of Education for 20 years working with children with additional needs. I am Julia’s mother, Andrew’s wife and have supported Julia to make a difference in the lives of your children. My job is to love and play with and give hugs when needed!”
Hollie
Nutritionist
I'm an Accredited Practising Dietitian and Nutritionist, with a strong belief in practical, sustainable nutrition for all ages. I think the opportunity to nourish growing minds and bodies is incredibly important to seize, giving children the best possible foundation for a healthy future. Early childhood is an incredible time of growth and development, where a child's needs, preferences and independence are all important to consider and encourage.
