Rachael – Colquhoun Park Early Years Centre

Hi everyone, my name is Rachael and I am the Senior Early Years Worker here at Colquhoun Park EYC. I have worked at Colquhoun since 2019, starting off as a practitioner. Over this time I have worked alongside the best staff team, children and families and I am grateful to work in a place I can call a home from home.

I absolutely relish in having the opportunity to watch our little learners grow and develop and being a part of it is an absolute joy. I love the power of storytelling, it is my favourite thing to take part in and seeing first-hand the children’s imagination coming to life is truly rewarding. The sheer enjoyment and curiosity that comes from it is amazing.

I have carried out the role of Family champion for a number of years and currently oversee Family engagement. I love to plan experiences that bring everyone together and it is a privilege to be a part of early childhood memories. I always strive to improve in this area, so feel free to highlight any recommendations for future events and to let us know how we are doing!

WHAT IS TRIPLE P?

Triple P is a parenting programme, but it doesn’t tell you how to be a parent. It’s more like a toolbox of ideas. You choose the strategies you need. You choose the way you want to use them. It’s all about making Triple P work for you.

WHAT DOES TRIPLE P DO?

The three Ps in ‘Triple P’ stand for ‘Positive Parenting Program’ which means your family life is going to be much more enjoyable.

Triple P helps you:

Raise happy, confident children
Manage misbehaviour so everyone in the family enjoys life more
Set rules and routines that everyone respects and follows
Encourage behaviour you like
Take care of yourself as a parent
Feel confident you’re doing the right thing
