Jane
Founder & Owner
Jane has a special knack for conjuring up new ideas and is particularly inspired by creating safe spaces for children to learn and grow. She and her husband have five children. They are also foster parents, so there’s never a dull moment in the house.
Emma
Area Manager
Emma has been in early education for almost 20 years and is a long time & indispensable member of the Bluebird family.
One of her greatest passions is supporting her team to grow. Something you might not know about her – she’s a terrible cook!
Judy
Accounts
Judy is our chief numbers cruncher. She’s an integral part of the team, keeping things running super smoothly behind the scenes. When she’s not knee-deep in bookkeeping and administration, Judy can be found having fun with her many interests, including kayaking.
Katrina
Albert Street Director
Katrina is one of the regulars in the BlueBird family (six years and counting), and she couldn’t be happier. It’s a far cry from her childhood dream to become a butcher like her dad! Out of work, you can find Katrina tinkering on the piano. As a naturally kind person, she wants to help children thrive, and goes out of her way to help at-risk kids.
Louise
Central Director
Louise is an industry veteran, with more than 25 years of experience in care. As Director of BlueBird Central, she gets to work with a fantastic team dedicated to delivering quality care. Nothing tickles her more than watching the centre grow into a bustling community.
Teaghan
Clydebank Director
Over the past 16 years, she has worked in various childcare centres around the south west region, before finding her home at BlueBird. Teaghan’s commitment to her work has become a significant part of her life, and she pours her heart and soul into her role as Director! Teaghan’s dedication to BlueBird leaves little room for hobbies, but she wouldn’t have it any other way!
Karen
Bus Service Manager
Karen is one of BlueBird’s most familiar faces. She’s been with Bluebird for six years, and is inspired by the countless children and families she’s met – and helped support along the way.
