Just Kidz Albany - Rosedale

Vanessa Henry

Operations Manager

Kia Ora my name is Vanessa Henry. My role is the Operations Manager for Just Kidz. I have trained and worked in the early childhood education sector for over 25 years. I am a qualified and registered teacher and I am extremely passionate about meaningful, high quality early childhood education. I strive for the best in everything I do and seek this in others and for every company I become involved with. As a result of this, I have had the very rewarding position of leading others and motivating those around me to offer the very best in early childhood education. I have much experience in managing Centres and supporting pre-school companies at an operations level.

Here at Just Kidz, I have the great privilege of working alongside a fabulous team in creating and maintaining successful learning environments for our youngest learners. I work closely with our managers across our branches to uphold our systems, quality standards and our personal, caring nature as well as with each Franchisee as they join our company.Through regular visits to our branches, I get the wonderful opportunity to meet the children and stop for a chat, a game or a welcoming hug, truly the best part of the job!

Within my Operations Role, I build close relationships with each Franchisee who joins our team and become their Field Support Officer, helping to train them and ensure they understand and follow the Just Kidz high standard. Training includes all our systems and standards, industry regulations as well as the personal company approach and how we value each staff member, parent and child who becomes a part of Just Kidz. My role in working with Franchisees is ongoing as I continue to offer guidance and support to ensure full implementation and the highest level of care and education is maintained at all times.

I look forward to meeting with families who are looking for quality care and education and getting to know them and their children, as well as other like-minded individuals in the teaching profession or interested franchisees who wish to become part of our caring organisation.
