About Spunky Monkeys

 

wateringKareena Gale is a wife, mother of two and the owner of Spunky Monkey’s Early Learning Centres situated in Penrith, Lemongrove, Bangor, and Cranebrook. For over 13 years, Kareena has had the privilege of partnering with hundreds of families to ensure their children have the best start to their educational journey.

Prior to a move into child care, Kareena was forging a successful career in business development in the pharmaceutical industry. After having her first daughter and being a full-time working mum, child care was a critical element in her life. Understanding a parents’ perspective and deciding to pursue something more meaningful in her career, child care seemed the natural next step. Kareena purchased her first child care centre in 2007 and called it Spunky Monkeys!

Kareena holds a Bachelor of Business, Advanced Diploma in Childrens Services, Diploma in Childrens Services, Certificate III in Childrens Services and is currently studying a Bachelor of Education.

Her philosophy is that children need to be treated with warmth and respect and that the skills and knowledge learnt in the child’s early years are the foundations for the child’s learning for later years. Kareena encourages two-way communication between families and staff and values parent input to support the education of the children in Spunky Monkeys care.  She counts one of her major achievements as developing a fantastic team that are professional, dedicated and truly love working at Spunky Monkeys.

And yes, she wears her pyjamas to the bank when its pyjama day at Spunky Monkeys!

Kareena’s goals for the future are clear; to further develop Spunky Monkeys school readiness program to be leaders in the industry, to work with governments and community sectors to increase the educational content of the early years learning framework and to further train and educate the Spunky Monkeys team so that they will be the inspiration of new entrants into the childcare field.

This is what our happy parents say…

The centre is very flexible and accommodating especially when it comes to changing days, the director will always try to help if she can. My two children have severe food allergies and the centre has always taken extra steps to ensure their safety and accommodate their needs, as a parent this is comforting.

Rebecca and Carlo Scarpin   

I really love looking through the weekly communications email sent out at the end of the week. Especially seeing photo's of Hunter enjoying his day. Please continue doing this.

My Daughter Robyn has been attending Spunky Monkeys Early Learning Centre Lemongrove for over 2 years and absolutely loves it. Each day is a new adventure, she participates in a wide range of indoor and outdoor activities in a safe nurturing environment. We have seen her social skills, communication and confidence grow under the guidance of her educators. The educators at the service are all professional and very supportive, Robyn has formed a close bond with many of them and she looks forward to seeing them each day. The service provides great variety of nutritional snacks and meals throughout the day giving Robyn the opportunity to try different foods. I am very grateful to the team at Spunky Monkeys for giving my daughter such a wonderful early learning experience

Sarah and Danny Vines
