Our Educators
I’m proud to introduce the North Fitzroy Co-op and welcome you to join our community. As Director of Co-op I love that all of our educators personally know every child and their families – it’s a close-knit community and means that we can best support the children and their development.
The team of educators here are fantastic. We have exceptionally low staff turnover and it’s amazing to have a group of highly qualified, happy and engaged educators who are deeply committed to Co-op and our philosophy.
While we’re a small centre, we have been recognised for our work, especially around nature-based play, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander recognition and sustainability. We have maintained the highest possible quality accreditation on all quality standards in our regular audits by the national regulator.
Most importantly, the children are happy! I encourage you to get in touch to learn more about us, and to come and see our centre for yourself.
