Meet the Centre Manager
Hello, My name is Tamara – I hold my Diploma in Early Education and Care and have proudly been a part of the Bluebird Cobram Team for over eight years, with almost 20 years of experience in Early Childhood Education. Throughout my career, I have developed a deep belief that children are at the heart of everything we do. I believe that strong partnerships with families form the foundation of quality early childhood education and are essential to achieving the best outcomes for children that help them thrive.
My leadership and teaching philosophy is grounded in the importance of meaningful relationships. I am committed to building trusting partnerships with families through open communication, respect, and collaboration, recognising these relationships as essential to supporting children’s learning, wellbeing, and development.
I am passionate about creating warm, calm, and welcoming environments where children feel safe, secure, and truly valued. I also believe the environment is a powerful teacher. I am intentional about creating beautiful, engaging spaces that inspire exploration, creativity, and wonder, and that reflect the importance of childhood.
Central to my practice is a strong commitment to children’s voices, ensuring they are heard, respected, and actively reflected in their learning. By supporting children to share ideas, make choices, and contribute to decisions, I aim to foster confidence, curiosity, resilience, and a lifelong love of learning through play.
As a leader, I am committed to fostering a positive, reflective, and collaborative culture where children, families, and educators feel supported, empowered, and valued, and where every child is given the opportunity to reach their full potential.
I look forward to welcoming you and your families into Bluebird Cobram Kinder.
Meet the Centre Manager

I hold my Bachelor in Early Education and I am dedicated to fostering a nurturing, safe, and enriching environment where children can explore, learn, and grow at their own pace.
Having lived in Cobram for most of my life, I have built strong connections with the local community, which helps me create meaningful relationships with children, families, and educators.
I believe that open communication and trust are the foundations for a successful early learning environment, and I am committed to fostering these partnerships to ensure the best outcomes for every child in our care.
I’m particularly inspired by Bluebird Cobram’s connection to nature and the emphasis on a nature-based curriculum. I believe that the environment is the third teacher, and I strive to create spaces that are safe, inviting, and conducive to learning.
