Meet Stacey.

Service Manager

My name is Stacey I am the Service manager at Waterford Rise. I have been in the childcare industry for over 20 years. I have worked my way up from educator, room leader, educational leader, 2IC and now Service manager. I have learnt so much over my years in childcare. The children and my team are a big part of that learning.

I have been very lucky to have loved my job and to form the most precious friendships with the children and families and to have so many wonderful memories.
