Meet our Centre Manager
Kia ora
My name is Donna. I’m a mother of four and a proud grandmother, with 27 years in early childhood education, beginning at Playcentre and joining Evolve in 2019. Now Centre Manager at Lollipops Waikato Hospital, I’m passionate about seeing happy, engaged children grow through play.
I value the strong relationships formed between children, peers, and teachers, and love watching them build confidence and resilience. To me, the most important aspect of a centre is how the team connects with each other and with children. Nurturing, respectful interactions foster belonging, wellbeing, and a love of learning, laying the foundation for children to become lifelong learners.
