Jessica grew up on a farm, and that grounded, community-minded steadiness flows through everything she does. Families and staff feel genuinely supported and welcomed the moment they step in.

The calm you set for the whole centre is felt from the door, it makes drop-off easier and pick-up warmer. We appreciate the way you look after the kids and the families. Thank you for creating that sense of home.
Jess,
You bring energy to the Centre, which reflects on all your team members and creates a positive atmosphere.
It has been an absolute pleasure having you as our Centre Manager.
Thank you.

Jess is a great manager and educator! She has such a can-do attitude and is always very friendly and welcoming. There has never been an issue Jess hasn’t managed to fix and we feel so comfortable coming to her with any questions or concerns. She is amazing with the kids and Rowan feels so comfortable with her. Thanks for all you do Jess!
Ana (Rowan)
Jess always says hello and happy to assist in any enquiries. Is friendly and engaged with the children when she is helping on the floor.
Kayla (Hudson)
Jess is always happy to stop and have a chat, responds to emails quickly and is so incredibly helpful. She remembers names quickly and builds strong relationships with the kids. Toby has had such a great first year at the centre and this is due to staff moral, which stems from a good leader. We can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done!
Katy (Toby)
Jess is amazing and an absolute asset to Stride Ardross! A warm, friendly and reliable centre manager and educator.
She gets to know all the kids and takes the time to answer any parent questions, resolve issues and provide reassurance regarding any concerns.
She is loved by the kids at the centre and is a great early educator and positive influence for young minds.
My son makes me play daycare with him at home and he loves to pretend to be Jess and comfort his toys when they are sad at drop-off.
Thank you Jess for all that you do for our kids!
Krystal (Leo & Joy)
We’re so grateful to have Jess at Stride. Her presence and demeanour are always so positive and she leads by example in making the centre such a wonderful place for our child. A special thank you for all the extra cuddles you give Kalyana to help her settle. It’s all the extra little things that make the centre such a wonderful environment and some where our daughter is always happy to attend. Thanks and best wishes.
