Centre Manager profile

Xenia Bevitori

I began my career in early childhood education and care in 2007 and started working at Sandcastles Childcare Chatswood in 2020. I hold a degree in dramatic art in Italy where I cooperated with a variety of early learning settings to implement children’s development and wellbeing though dramatic arts. In Australia, I studied a Diploma of early childhood. I worked as educator, room leader and centre director developing experience in supporting children’s families and educators in their learning and discovery journey.

I have developed many years of experience as an early childhood educator and learning leader. I enjoy taking part in the creation of learning programs and research activities related to self-regulation, development of creative thinking and social skills, support of bilingual and multicultural learning and dramatic arts for early education and care settings. I’m very passionate about children’s development and I thrive to enhance each child’s potential creating support and guidance for families in their little one’s learning journey.

Over time, I have learnt that children are capable and passionate learners. My teaching is guided by the idea inspired from Maria Montessori that we should not help a child doing something that they feel they can do themselves. I believe in children’s ability to be creative and critical thinkers. I think that supporting children’s development and wellbeing is a strong contribution to building a better future for everyone. Building strong emotional, critical and creative thinking skills will enable children to thrive in their future life with confidence and hope.

Being involved in a social environment will enable children to develop empathy and understanding for others and their own world. Relationship with other children and adults support children in developing the idea of a shared society with agreements and common grounds to live happily together. Early Childcare settings offers qualified teachers which is an extra support to families in their children’s learning journey. It is not just about the children; it is also about the families being ablet o share thoughts and ideas with professionals that have specific knowledge and understanding of children development.

Our team is a group of amazing human beings and are very experienced educators. Everyone in the team have been here for a long time and they develop their passion to support children learning like a family. Our educators and teachers support learning and growth with creative ideas, passion and profound respect for children and families. Our team is very multicultural. We speak a variety of languages and represent different cultural backgrounds.

We support our families by being there for families and children, being open to dialogue and conversation. By being around at pick up and drop of and by saying hello, having a chat and taking an interest in their lives. I enjoy sharing my knowledge to support parenthood with chats, conferences, sharing articles and ideas.

–  Mamuni Satpahy

 

“I want to take this opportunity to write a few words about my experience at Sandcastles Chatswood and what a difference you all have made to my son’s life. We started at Sandcastles in 2015 and the director back then kindly alerted us there may be some concerns regarding my son’s development. No doctors, specialists, friends or relatives have said anything to us before and thanks to all the educators at Sandcastles – we started our journey of early intervention. 

Early intervention is vital for children with any kind of delay as there is only a short period of time that we can teach skills and allow them to catch up as much as possible. None of this early intervention would have been possible without the support from Sandcastles Chatswood. Throughout the 3 years at Sandcastles, I have had teams of therapists and professionals in and out of the centre every week. I have made all sorts of ridiculous requests regarding training, scheduling and no one at Sandcastles ever said NO. Professionals in the field could not believe the things that I have managed to arrange at Sandcastles – in our society inclusion is not a given and it is wonderful to see how the educators at Chatswood embraces the concept without hesitation. 

Now my son is having a crack at mainstream school and this is all possible because of the wonderful educators at Sandcastles Chatswood especially Sam and Niki for managing such a great team under the leadership of Rachael. I know you will continue to support any children with additional needs. Don’t underestimate the difference you are making for the kids and their families. Early intervention only works in the first few years of the child’s life and once we miss that window of opportunity it’s gone. Thank you for being so open and understanding. My family and I will be forever grateful that we started our journey at Sandcastles Chatswood.”

“We love the centre because of the staff. All of them are really nice and it shows that they love their job. They helped Hemontika settle in the new environment without her parents. The centre provides a great learning environment, where my child can explore and develop in her early learning stage. Thank you to everyone for your hard work.”

– Debalina

– Wei-Ling

 

“The educators at this centre are very caring. They are also very flexible in terms of assisting my son with his learning. I really recommend this centre.”

– W.Y.

 

“Sandcastles Chatswood is an incredible daycare.  Our two sons both attended Sandcastles Chatswood from 6 months age until recently, graduating from daycare to go to school. We could not have been happier with the centre as it tailored for the boys needs as they progressed through the centre. The educators are exceptional.  We found each of the educators to be caring, trustworthy and genuinely interested in getting to know and look after our boys. This allowed us to develop a strong relationship with them so we could navigate any issues together. They serve nutritious and delicious meals and are always changing up the menu. The rooms are spacious and have everything the children need. The centre was always clean, organised and welcoming. The learning and playtime was well structured so our boys has the opportunity to learn as well as play with friends. We could not have been happier with our choice to send our boys to Sandcastles Chatswood. Thanks to Sam and all the staff at Sandcastles Chatswood”

– Megan
