From our Director Melanie Rigby
I’m Melanie, the centre Director of Kiama Downs Community Preschool. I hold a Bachelor Degree in Early Childhood and have been part of Big Fat Smile for over 20 years. My time in the organisation has allowed me to grow and gain experience in multiple centres. I am proud to be back in my hometown to share my love for this beautiful community with our families and lead my team for the next generation of young Kiama members.
I believe the early years is an important time in the lives of children and I know we have a pivotal role to play the development of those in our care. All children deserve the right to quality early childhood education and I aim to lead a team that provides the best learning environment to allow the children to build on their strengths and interests to become confident, curious learners.
