Mary has worked with Explorers Early Learning for over a decade and has been the centre director of our Williams Landing location since 2023.

Her favourite part about the role is welcoming the children and families every morning.

“I love being with my team, they are family. Explorers are a family, and I love being a part of that.”

When children and families walk into her centre, Mary wants them to feel a sense of warmth and belonging.

“When you walk into Explorers Williams Landing it’s like walking into a home environment. We ensure our children feel safe and supported in our care.”

The Explorers values that Mary connects with the most are ownership, joy and learning.

“I’m always learning new things to better myself and others. You will always feel the joy when arriving at Williams Landing and meeting my team.”
