OUR PEOPLE
Our passionate practitioners are the heart of Sprogs. Each brings unique expertise and boundless enthusiasm to help every child grow and thrive.
“Sprogs Garden Playschool is not just a school—it’s a truly magical place where children, families, and staff come together to create a nurturing home away from home. I feel so privileged to lead this incredible community and am immensely proud of what we have built together with our dedicated directors and talented team. I am beyond excited to extend this vision with the opening of Kiddiewinks Garden Playschool in September 2025!”
