Meet Jojo from Asquith

My name is Vijitra , but everyone calls me Jojo. You’ll find my Family Day Care centre in Asquith.

I was born in Thailand, and have lived in the UK and Singapore. I previously worked as an Accountant, and have a degree in General Management. We moved to Australia in 2011 in search of a better lifestyle for our family, and we now have a son in primary school.

I decided to study Early Childhood Education and Care because I love taking care of children. I have a Certificate III and am now studying for my Diploma. I decided to set up Hyacinth Family Day Care to enable me to look after my son and other children at the same time.

We speak English at home, and I encourage my son to also speak Thai. I love to teach the children some Thai words.

I strive to provide a warm, safe and stimulating environment for the children. I want the children to feel safe and secure, and feel that our home is also their second home.

I believe that children learn through play, and that it is important to provide lots of activities and resources for the children. We have a large safe outdoor area, and put a lot of emphasis on outdoor play and activities, as well as learning about nature.
