Niyati Prabhu belongs to a family of educators who firmly believe that 'a child miseducated is a child lost.' When she switched careers from psychology to early childhood, "It felt like it was always meant to be, like I had come back home". Niyati joined the Cherry Bridge Station Lane Cove team in November 2015 and took up the role of a nominated supervisor and educational leader in January 2016. Her work was recognised across the provider's network at the annual award ceremony later that year. In the past two years, she has enjoyed building pedagogical relationships with the educators, mentoring and supporting them to develop their skills and practices. Part of advocating our profession is providing information about the national quality framework and for this I believe it is very important to engage the educators, families and children in research, to explore new ideas and approaches that will enhance the educational program.
