We are excited to welcome Seenal to the Canterbury Norwood family in 2022 working with the Caterpillar gtoup. Seenal has been working in Children’s services for almost 9 years and currently studying a Bachelor Degree in Early Childhood to pursue her dream to become an Early Childhood Teacher.
Her favourite activities to do with children are music and movement, playing group games and art and craft experiences. She loves surrounded by children because of their imagination, innocence, enthusiasm and curiosity.
In her spare time Seenal like to explore new places, going for bushwalking and spending time with her family.
The new development in Canterbury Gardens will house a range of local service including the Maternal Health Centre, Toy Library, Play Station Occasional Care and our wonderful Canterbury Norwood Kindergarten.
With construction looking to commence mid-2020, we can confirm our current location at 2 Boronia Street, Canterbury is secure until we move to our new location at the Canterbury Gardens.
