Our People, guided by care

Our Leadership Team

Adventure Patch is led by a dedicated leadership team with a shared commitment to children’s wellbeing, quality education, and strong community connections.

Together, they bring a depth of experience across early childhood education, family day care, operations, and governance — ensuring Adventure Patch continues to provide safe, nurturing and inclusive environments for children and families.

Our leadership team works closely with Educators, staff, families and the wider community to support best-practice education and care. With a strong understanding of the National Quality Framework and child-centred practice, the team provides clear direction, practical support and strategic oversight across all Adventure Patch services.

Grounded in our values and philosophy, the leadership team is committed to continuous improvement, child safety, and responsive leadership. Their collective focus is on creating positive outcomes for children, empowering Educators, and ensuring Adventure Patch remains a trusted and supportive service for families now and into the future.
