Meet Fano
“G’day, I’m Fano! I’ve been part of the Play & Grow family since our doors opened in 2018, with an overall 8 years tucked under my belt in early childhood education. My career path was chosen for the challenge it presents—seeing the world through a fresh, unfiltered perspective, our children’s eyes. There’s a real sense of kinship here at Play & Grow, and to me, that’s everything. Family isn’t just an important thing, it’s everything, and that’s what we are here—a family.”
