Centre Director – Kristy Holt

Kristy Holt brings 22 years of experience in the early childhood profession as the Centre Director of St Nicholas Early Education Raymond Terrace. Throughout her extensive career, Kristy has immersed herself in various roles within long day care and preschool settings, and has even ventured into owning her own Family Day Care business. For the past three years, she has been serving as Director at our Raymond Terrace centre, showcasing her exceptional leadership skills.

Kristy’s qualifications include a Bachelor of Early Childhood Teaching, which she successfully completed in 2011. Her educational background and continuous commitment to professional growth provide her with a solid foundation for understanding and implementing best practices in early childhood education. 

Working with children holds a special place in Kristy’s heart. She finds immense joy in learning alongside them, witnessing their expressions when they discover something new. Creating a warm and welcoming space for children is paramount to Kristy, as she believes it is essential for them to feel loved and supported in order to reach their full potential.

Kristy feels privileged to be a part of a child’s life from as early as their very first days at just 8 weeks old. Watching them grow and develop over the years, providing care and guidance and witnessing their journey until they transition to “big school” fills her with a deep sense of fulfillment.
