Our Team

At the heart of Baringa is a team committed to early childhood education, some of whom have been with us for 25 years.

We have a love of learning across our Management, Leadership Team, Early Childhood Teachers and educators with Diploma and Certificate level qualifications.

We embrace a positive work culture with ongoing professional development to build on individual strengths and advocate for the professional recognition of the early childhood education and care sector.
