Bri Probert
Kindergarten Teacher
After working and studying at Country Buddies Yarrawonga for the past 8
years, I have developed a strong passion for early childhood education.
When the job opportunity arose at Wangaratta Country Buddies I was
excited to transfer and apply my knowledge and experience to our new
kindergarten setting. I believe in the importance of scaffolding children’s
learning and development whilst nurturing their wellbeing, allowing
children to guide their own learning through play. There is also an
importance of extending on children’s strengths, abilities and interests
and reflecting this in the program which ultimately creates an
environment where children feel safe secure and supported. Building
relationships with families and children is a priority as it assists us in
developing a program that is consistent and flexible to every child’s
individual needs. I appreciate and acknowledge that each child develops
at their own unique pace this is why our program will be a visual learning
journey, that demonstrates children’s learning and development with
opportunities of growth to extend on their knowledge. Our program
reflects the VEYLDF and its respective outcomes, principles and
milestones. To prepare your child for school our kindergarten program
implements a point of difference in our Jollyphonics program that
introduces the beginning stages of emergent literacy skills. Country
Buddies prides itself on its play-based approach to all aspects of the
curriculum, planning and pedagogy. Country Buddies contributes and
participates within the community, giving children lifelong skills with
multiple incursions and excursions to expose children to different cultures and learning environments. We look forward to your enquiries and interest in our amazing service here at Country Buddies Wangaratta.
