What our South Lake families think of us…
Meet our Childcare Manager at Cuddles South Lake
Hi I’m Annick,
My journey in early childhood education began in 2014 when I completed my Certificate III and Diploma in Children’s Services. Since then, I’ve embraced a variety of roles within the organisation – from Assistant Educator and Room Leader to 2IC, and now Centre Manager.
I’m deeply passionate about creating an environment where every child feels safe, loved, and valued. I believe that every child matters and deserves access to quality education that celebrates their individuality and nurtures their creativity.
As Centre Manager, my goal is to support our amazing team in delivering enriching experiences that empower children to learn, grow, and thrive. I warmly invite parents and families to visit our wonderful and warm center, explore our vibrant learning spaces, and experience firsthand the nurturing environment we’ve created. Your involvement and feedback are so important as we work together to build a bright future for every child in our care!
Annick Bellah
Centre Manager

Our experienced educators build secure attachments with each child, encouraging trust and emotional confidence.

These outdoor areas are thoughtfully designed to extend learning beyond the classroom – supporting gross motor development, sensory exploration, and imaginative play in a natural setting. Inside, toddlers are rapidly developing their language, thinking, and social skills, and our programs are tailored to nurture this exciting stage. We introduce early cognitive concepts through hands-on activities, storytelling, songs, and play-based learning. Foundational phonics are gently woven into each day through letter sounds, name recognition, and interactive group time. Our educators guide toddlers in developing independence, confidence, and communication, while fostering a strong sense of belonging in a safe and stimulating environment.
