    Meet Our Team

    Vanessa Webb

    Centre Manager

    I have worked in early childhood education since 2003 and I’ve been working here at Precious Cargo Blackwood since April 2018.

    Building meaningful connections with children and their families is what I am really passionate about as I believe that a strong sense of belonging helps children become confident and active learners.

    Montessori learning encompasses the whole child, allowing them to learn and develop at their own pace. It gives children the chance to be fully involved in exploring and contributing to their environment giving them the sense of ownership, responsibility and respect that sets them up for life.

    What Our Families Say

    "The educators are caring and respectful of each child's needs and circumstances. The centre is welcoming and inclusive, and the centre directors are knowledgeable, generous and display a driving desire to create the best environment possible for the children."
    Jennifer Innes
    Parent, Precious Cargo Blackwood
