Blairmount Kids Learning Academy

Hello, I am Krishna Bhavani, and I am the Nominated Supervisor and Approved Provider and Owner of Blairmount Kids Learning Academy. Originally from India, I speak Tamil, Hindi, and English, and I deeply value the rich mix of cultures that make up our Blairmount community.

I am passionate about creating high-quality early learning environments where children, families, and educators feel supported, respected, and valued. I believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive in a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment.

With over twenty-two years in the early childhood sector, my experience has strengthened my commitment to supporting educators in delivering meaningful learning experiences that foster confidence, wellbeing, and a sense of belonging. I enjoy mentoring educators, building positive relationships with families, and promoting a culture of continuous improvement, collaboration, and professional growth.

My approach is guided by the belief that every child is unique, capable, and competent. I strongly value the agency of each child and believe their voices, choices, and ideas should be celebrated and respected as an essential part of their learning journey.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing badminton, exploring different cuisines, and immersing myself in crime thrillers, whether through books or film. A good coffee and a great book are some of my favourite ways to unwind and recharge.
