Donna O’Callaghan

Director and Educational Leader
Northgate

Donna has worked in the childcare industry for 22 years. Working across all age groups for 11 years in Mildura, Donna joined us at Northgate Early Learning & Kindergarten in 2011 as our Toddler 2 Room Team Coordinator.

After 5 months with our Toddlers, Donna moved on to be Team Coordinator of our Tiny Tots room where she found her passion and remained running the room for the last 10 years. Donna’s nurturing personality and love of babies has made her the perfect first Educator for new families. Between her career in Childcare and having raised two children of her own, Donna is able to connect with families and has a wealth of knowledge surrounding babies and all their milestones.

Donna was excited to take on the role of Director and Educational Leader after a year in the role of Assistant Director. With her years of experience and her belief that every child is unique and deserves to learn and explore in their own way, we believe that Donna is perfect for her new role.

“My love of ‘my babies’ has not, and will not ever change, but when offered this amazing opportunity to be Director I was excited and nervous and jumped at the chance to learn more from a very different point of view of Childcare and I love it!”
