Meet Our Staff

Melissa Ansford

Coordinator - Senior

I’ve been an early ed coordinator:
Since the end of 2018.
My favourite thing about being an early ed coordinator is:
Providing a collaborative environment where families and children’s voices are listened to and respected. I enjoy watching the children grow and develop during their schooling years, seeing them grow into amazing capable pre-teens ready to face the rest of their educational pathway no matter where it may lead.
Something I like to tell all mums and dads is:
I am here to support their families and their children by providing an environment that fosters the independence and uniqueness of each and every child.
My favourite way to relax is:
Reading a good book or walking in the bush

Lee Gazzard

Coordinator - Junior

I’ve been an early ed coordinator for:
Six years at Our Place and 26 years in the industry.
My favourite thing about being an early ed coordinator is:
Watching children develop empathy towards others while being independent and resilient themselves.
Something I like to tell all mums and dads is:
These things will be forgotten by their 21st birthday so don’t be embarrassed.
My favourite way to relax is:
Travel and explore new things.
