Meet Our Directors & Educators
Chris Angus
DIRECTOR
My Kindy was founded by Chris & Glenda Angus in 2007.
The first My Kindy was designed, built, and opened in February 2007.
Chris is the Managing Director (Approved Provider) of the My Kindy Childcare Centres located on the Gold Coast. Chris has more than 25 years industry experience and is actively involved in the daily operations in each centre: Labrador, Runaway Bay and Varsity Lakes.
My Kindy’s Centres are family owned and we are proud of our dedicated team of caring, experience, and qualified early childhood educators.
With two Children of our own and working full time, we understood the importance of Early Education and trusting your child’s care, learning and growth with a dedicated, supported, healthy and happy Early Learning Centre and so, the creation of My Kindy back in 2007 was realised. Our Children, Courtney Angus, today, is a world Wakeboard champion and Blake Angus, today, is heavily involved in all aspects of My Kindy’s day to day operations and our continued growth and success. We continue to delivery high level nurturing across all of our centres. Our Vision has allowed us to grow over the years and today, we have 3 centres and still growing. We are inspired by the joy we give to each of our My Kindy children, the growth we see them achieve, and giving back to our community, every-day.
Natasha POI
CENTRE DIRECTOR, MY KINDY LABRADOR
I have worked in the Early Childhood Education sector for over 10 years. During my career I have had the opportunity to operate my family day care business, Lead Educator for the nursery and toddler age groups and an Educational Leader.
I have a strong passion for working with children, families and educators in the Early Childhood Sector and strive to provide a welcoming, safe, and interesting environment for children to learn, develop and grow. I focus on building strong connections with our families and the local community to ensure we are providing the best possible care tailored to each child’s individual needs, interests, and cultural backgrounds.
I am privileged to lead a team of qualified and experienced early learning professionals, who share the same passion to provide an inclusive and supportive learning environment. We embed sustainable practices into our program to encourage the children to develop the skills to be active participants in building a more sustainable future.
