The people at Kids Haven

Our team

Meet the people who support children’s learning and wellbeing at Kids Haven.

Cherrie Kristy Seale

Nominated Supervisor | Diploma in Children’s Services, Associate Diploma in Social Science, Certificate IV in Training and Assessment

I believe every child deserves to learn and grow in a safe, fun and loving environment. Through play, children develop curiosity, resilience, confidence and an understanding of themselves and the world around them. I value creating a strong sense of family and community where children can learn from everyone around them. My favourite saying is, “It takes a village to raise a child.”

Samantha Jane Wolfgram

Early Childhood Teacher

With many years of experience in early childhood education, my philosophy has evolved alongside the profession. I believe educators are teachers, not babysitters, and that the early years provide an important foundation for lifelong learning. I am passionate about children’s rights and ensuring every child is happy, healthy and safe. I value strong, trusting relationships with children and families and believe we are all learners. Through play, children explore, experiment and make sense of the world at their own pace. I particularly value learning through nature and creating experiences and memories that children can carry with them throughout life.

Penny Elizabeth Everson

Educational Leader | Diploma in Children’s Services

With 14 years of experience in early childhood education and five children of my own, I value every opportunity to support children as they learn and grow. I believe learning flourishes when children feel connected, supported and empowered. I am committed to creating inclusive environments where every child feels safe, respected and valued. As a proud Aboriginal woman, I value children’s connection to culture and strive to embed Aboriginal perspectives, including the local Birrbay community and Gathang language, into everyday learning. Inspired by Reggio Emilia and Steiner principles, I see every child as capable, curious and an active participant in their learning. I value imagination, nature, storytelling, music and movement, while following children’s interests and voices to create meaningful, child-led experiences.

Jaira Dimaano Bremon

Diploma in Children’s Services

I believe every child is capable, curious and unique, and that children learn best through play, exploration and meaningful relationships. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing and inclusive environment where every child feels valued, confident and supported to explore the world around them. I value strong partnerships with families and colleagues and believe that trust, communication and respect are essential to children’s wellbeing and learning. By following each child’s interests, strengths and individual pace, I aim to nurture a sense of belonging, joy and confidence that supports them as lifelong learners.

Annelyse Jorja Davidson

Certificate III | Working Towards Diploma in Children’s Services

I believe the early years provide the foundation for a child’s learning, wellbeing and sense of identity. Every child is a capable learner, and through play, hands-on experiences and strong relationships, children can develop confidence, creativity, problem-solving skills and independence. I value building trusting relationships with children, families and colleagues and recognising each child’s individuality and diversity. I am also passionate about helping children develop respect for their natural environment by exploring local flora and fauna and understanding how our actions impact the world around us. My goal is to create a supportive environment where children feel safe, confident and inspired to explore, learn and connect with nature.

Lisa-Ann Mary Blackman

Certificate III

I love working with children and feel privileged to be part of their growth and development. Every child is unique and deserves to be valued, respected and supported as an individual. I believe we are always learning as educators, and that children teach us just as much as we teach them. Knowing that I can make a positive difference in the lives of children and their families is something I cherish every day.
