Our Wonderful Team
Your Journey to a Fulfilling Life
Marjorie Mann’s educational approach is inspired by the Reggio Emilia Approach.
Shelley Carlin
Director & Educational Leader.
I have worked at Marjorie Mann since November 2012, I believe each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature. I believe every child has the potential to bring something unique and special to the world.
Children have taught me to open my mind and heart to the joys, the innocence, and the diversity in the world. Because of this, I will remember to smile with the new, cherish the old, and laugh with children.
“Everyday I strive to make a better tomorrow for our children.”

Curriculum Leader My name is Eloise, I have been at Marjorie Mann since 2002. My passion is working with the children in the room, I thrive off challenging myself to develop my skills as an educator. I believe in play based learning, and giving the children the best opportunities to grow, learn and develop into the unique individuals they are during their time with us. I value families as the children’s most important relationship and teacher. When I work with the children, I believe I am also working with the families and building those crucial positive connections and partnerships. Family is very important to me, I am a mum to a teenage girl Amalee and I have a partner Chris and they are my world, oh and of course my 2 cats Ariel and Jemima.
Kia Ora/Kaya, my name is Jenna I am the Team Leader in the Kindy 2 room and Staff Mentor Coach. I was born and raised in New Zealand. I have a Certificate 3 and Diploma in Early Childhood studies as well as a Certificate IV in School Age Education and Care. I have worked with many age groups from 0-14 and have worked my way from unqualified educator through to Centre Management in both Early Childhood and OSHC settings.
I love working with children as everyday allows me a moment to reflect on my practices and teachings which allows me to be a better educator, help young minds grow to be stronger citizens and above all I get to enjoy many special moments with the young beautiful children entrusted in my care. My interests are nature and beach walks, music – I can play the piano, and guitar …not fluently however, singing, shopping, going to the gym, bike riding, and spending time with my amazing family.
Centre Management Committee
The Centre is managed by a voluntary Committee made up of families and interested community members. The committee works closely with the Director and carries the overall responsibility for the operation of the Centre. Its role is to ensure the regulations laid down by various government bodies are observed, to oversee and support the Director and to keep a close eye on expenditures. Committee Members are elected to their positions at the Annual General Meeting which is held in October of each year.

My little family members are Glen, my husband, my two beautiful girls, Noa and Ella, and our fur baby, Louie. I love to bake, weightlifting and football (soccer).

Hello! My name is Shiwei. I’ve always loved caring for children, so becoming an educator had always been my dream job. I was born and raised in China. My husband and I raise two beautiful children. In my spare time, I like to try new things, read, cook for my family. On the weekends, I love to do volunteer work and play badminton. I started my childcare career in 2017, after I came to Marjorie Mann as a work experience student whilst studying Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care. From the very first day, I knew I loved working at Marjorie Mann. Watching beautiful children explore, play and grow in the amazing environment the Centre offers and knowing that I’ve been able to help them learn and achieve great things is extremely rewarding, and I wouldn’t trade it for any other.
My name is Linda and I started at Marjorie Mann in September 2021. I am married with two children and four beautiful energetic grandchildren. We have lived in Perth for twenty years and try to explore and enjoy all that Australia has to offer. I have enjoyed working in child care and have been lucky to have worked most of this time in two wonderful community based centres. I enjoy renovating our new home, I am a keen gardener learning as I go and try to embrace and learn the upcycling and recycling process with my family, especially my grandchildren. I am very excited to have the opportunity to work in the amazing centre with such caring, and thoughtful staff. I am also looking forward to meeting all the families and children and learning about this lovely community.

My name is Aleesha Broad, and I am excited to be joining the team here at Marjorie Mann. I have worked in early childhood education for 9 years as early childhood educator and I am passionate about supporting young children and their learning and development. I am particularly passionate about creating a sustainable planet and teaching children the importance of it. I believe it goes beyond teaching about recycling but our everyday actions in life which can help our planet to survive. In my spare time, I enjoy swimming at Beatty Park or listening to music. I particularly love music from the 60’s and 70’s and a big Beatles fan. I look forward to getting to know you all over the next few weeks and building new relationships with the children and families.
