Ping
Hello everyone! My name is Ping and I am the director of Morning Buds. As a teacher, I want to make a difference. Teaching requires professional knowledge, patience, enthusiasm and empathy- I am willing to provide all things on a daily basis. I believe that each child is an individual and my role is to encourage, educate and allow children to flourish in a positive and educational environment. I am passionate about creating trusting relationships with children. I also believe that families are the first and most influential teachers. I am looking forward to working together with all families to provide quality early childhood education to enrich each child’s life.
Hi Families,
I am Jiaer, I am working as an Early Childhood Teacher at Morning Buds Early Learning Centre. I have experience working with children from 0-6 years both in Australia and China, with Master degree in Early Childhood Teaching and Educational Psychology.
I believe that children are all capable learners and have their individual strengths. My teaching philosophy is to provide differentiating teaching to support children’ learning and development through play-based and strength based intentional teaching in a positive environment.

Riah
Hello everyone! My name is Riah. I’m originally from the Philippines. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active by going to the gym and occasionally playing badminton. On weekends, I love going for nature walks and taking relaxing drives down to the coast.
I hold a Master’s degree in Teaching and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, providing a strong foundation in early childhood development. I gained initial experience working with kindergarten children at an international school in the Philippines and I worked in an early childhood education and care setting in Australia. I am passionate about supporting children to become confident, capable, and independent learners within an inclusive and nurturing environment. I value building strong, respectful partnerships with families and maintaining open communication, recognising that each child’s wellbeing, interests, and voice are at the heart of everything we do. I look forward to getting to know all the families at Morning Buds.

Dear family, my name is Anna, it’s been a great pleasure to join Morning Buds Early Learning Centre and I would like to introduce myself to you. I am from China and have been living in Sydney for about ten years. I like spending time with my family and catching up with friends. I also enjoy drawing, painting and visiting art galleries.

At Morning Buds, I would support the educator team to maintain a loving and welcoming atmosphere for all children and to help every child to learn and grow in a safe, supportive and engaging environment. As an educator, I am committed to being respectful and caring with children and families that ensure all children experience pride and confidence in their culture and identity. I value each child because they are unique and special.

Eden
Hello everyone! My name is Eden, and I have been working as a cook in the early childhood sector for the past six years. I also hold a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care, which allows me to support children not only through nutritious meals but also with an understanding of their developmental needs.
Before joining the early learning sector, I worked as a commercial cook for six years in restaurants, cafés, and clubs. This experience helped me develop strong skills in food preparation, kitchen management, and maintaining high standards of food safety and hygiene.
I chose to work in early childhood education because I truly enjoy seeing children’s happy faces when they eat the meals I prepare. Knowing that I contribute to their health, growth, and wellbeing brings me great joy and purpose.
I am passionate about continuous learning and always look for opportunities to develop my knowledge and skills. I am committed to providing high-quality, nutritious meals that support children’s wellbeing every day.
