At Sprouts, Donna and the Team create spaces where children thrive, families flourish, and educators soar. Sustainability, Equity, Empathy, and Diversity are at the core of everything we do, with the Circle of Security program fostering strong emotional bonds.

With over 14 years of experience in the early years education sector across Australia, Donna’s leadership inspires teams to dream BIG. Whether she’s brainstorming with educators, diving into The Hungry Caterpillar, or singing “Let It Go” with preschoolers, Donna’s joy and energy are unmatched.

Join Donna and the Sprouts ELC family for a journey of laughter, learning, and endless possibilities!

A child is powerful from birth, naturally open to the world and capable of building their own understanding. Each child is seen in their wholeness, guided by their own unique and remarkable path, curiosity, and passion for life. A competent and capable child.

Donna

Learning and teaching should not stand on opposite banks and just watch the river flow by; instead, they should embark together on a journey down the water. Through an active, reciprocal exchange, teaching can strengthen learning and how to learn.”

Malaguzzi, L. 1998

“Our task is to help children communicate with the world using all their potential, strengths and languages, and to overcome any obstacle presented by our culture.”

“The competent and creative child exists if there is a competent and creative adult”.
