Hi! I am Emily. I am very excited to be working as an educator at Kenmore Park, as the kindy is very special to me. As a child I attended the kindy and, more recently, my youngest daughter loved her year in Pre-Kindy. Whilst a parent at Kenmore Park, I had the privilege of being the Management Committee President where I developed an even greater understanding and connection to the centre and staff.
I am returning to the Kindergarten after having some time off, raising our 3 beautiful daughters. I feel very excited and privileged to be back at Kenmore Park once again.

Jennifer Bishop
Educator
Hello, my name is Jen, and I am excited to join the Kenmore Park Kindy team. As a Mum of two teenage daughters, I soon discovered my passion for children and learning through my own girls journey. It involved assisting at playgroup and then volunteering at school until I undertook to study Education support and became a teacher aide.
I have been in Education ever since my youngest finished primary school, which then led me into early childcare. I believe that children are our future and I delight in spending time immersed in their world. Children display a natural curiosity to their surroundings, and I take great pleasure in assisting and supporting them to live their best life. I welcome the opportunity to learn with your children. Life is a journey, let the fun begin!

Hi, My name is Lisa and I’m thrilled to be joining Kenmore Park Kindergarten this year, what an exciting time we have ahead of us.
I have spent over 15 years working with children and families in different roles, dedicated to ensuring that all children are provided with quality care. I see that all families and children need different care and strategies in order to thrive and for me that means applying a holistic approach to the way I care for children. I am a strong believer in continuous professional development and thoroughly enjoy the journey and magical bond that children invite us to share with them.
I have three young, wonderful girls at home and love sharing their excitement for adventure and fun.
