My name is Poonam, and I started my career as an early childhood educator in 2013. I held various roles in this journey while working my way up to a Service Manager.

My beliefs about quality childcare align closely with Sparrow’s educational philosophy and The Sparrow Way, believing that all children have an inherent ability to learn.

“Our daughter loves to attend Sparrow Early Learning Tarneit. She has so much fun and even wants to go on days that she isn’t booked to attend. The staff are great to communicate with and are very understanding and helpful.”
Ana Leaf
“I visited numerous ELCs around Tarneit in search of a place to enroll my two kids, but none seemed quite right until I walked into Sparrow at Tarneit. It immediately felt like the perfect fit for my children. The center is truly amazing, and the staff are always welcoming with a smile. My kids settled in remarkably well within just a few days. Poonam, the manager, is doing an excellent job, and her leadership shines through her dedicated team. You can tell from the educators' demeanor whether they're stressed or not, but Poonam consistently ensures her team is happy..”
