About Us

- SproutEd Learning Hub -

The team at SproutEd started with a small group of educators who are passionate about learning and play.

We wanted to create resources that nurture children, help them connect with their interests and natural ways of learning and doing, and are fun, challenging and engaging!

Over time, our focus has broadened to encompass educators, parents and the wider community too. We recognise that educator wellbeing and passion for learning is key to creating nurturing and engaging educational environments; and that parents and the wider community still need opportunities to connect, learn and grow too!

So we have been working hard on courses and workshops that help everyone continue to learn and grow!

Reignite your passion, creativity and curiosity - build community - and help Sprouts of all ages learn, play and grow!

- Our Mission -

At SproutEd Learning Hub, our mission is to provide high-quality educational resources and services to educators and learners of all ages; through our comprehensive directory of digital and physical resources, courses, workshops, blog articles, and educational coaching.

We believe that learning is a lifelong endeavour and should be approached in ways that are sustainable - not just environmentally, but in ways that promote and sustain engagement and motivation.

We coordinate (activities and initiatives), collaborate (with educators and the community), teach (through digital and physical resources, workshops and classes) and support others to reach their full potential as educators and achieve their personal learning goals (through group or private coaching).

Founder, Educator & Coach

Mel

Mel is one of the founders of SproutEd Learning Hub, bringing her passion for play-based learning, the Arts, and all things nature into the mix!

She is an Early Childhood Specialist Teacher with eighteen years of experience in early childhood settings, outside school hours care, primary classrooms, and youth activities and clubs.

Mel is mum (and step-mum) to seven wonderful children, the three youngest keeping her on her toes, playful, and inspired every day!

She can often be found in the garden, crafting up a storm, creating beautiful learning resources, or having a cup of tea and a sneaky read of her book!

Mel is our head designer here at The Hub and you'll often see her out and about connecting with the community, don't be shy to say hello!
