Kanchan Service Manager

Kanchan Karmalkar

Hello everyone, I am Kanchan Karmalkar. I am a Service Manager here at Story House Early Learning Black Rock.

I am qualified with Advanced Diploma of Community Sector Management, and I have been in early childhood sector for over 13yrs.

I found my passion in early childhood education and care through personal experiences of my life and once pursued I never looked back. Education, environment, health and wellbeing for the young children, families and our educators is my priority.

I believe first five years of a child life is vital and its where we as a educators can make an impact, which gives me pride to be a part of child’s development and learning.

I believe building those relationship with the families help make the impact on a child’s life therefore I take pride in collaborating with families. Having a curriculum that is child initiated and based on children’s interest is what high quality education looks like. Receiving feedback/input on our learning experiences help implement this high-quality education and I feel this happen from connection you make the moment that family walks in for their tour.

I have a beautiful family with my two children and Husband, who inspires me to be the best and kind person. Having a family of my own I understand when a family looking for a care and putting their child in hands of our educators and I can appreciate the feelings that families go through. So, I want to make that transition as smooth as possible by working with all families, their children and my team.

I am passionate about good health therefore I keep myself busy with healthy eating habits, daily exercise (Walk) for my mental health and wellbeing.

I look forward to working together with you all.
