GET TO KNOW JO

Jo’Brien is a mum to four lovely children and has over 20 years’ experience in education.This includes a Bachelor of Teaching in Primary Education, a Diploma in Children’s Services and numerous courses that have expanded her knowledge in education, child development and business.

After watching her children grow up, she saw the need for a different type of early educational experience and opened Platinum.

Jo lives by the philosophy that it takes a village to raise a child. She is a tireless supporter of the local community, businesses and charities and a staunch advocate for education, inclusion and acceptance.

Jo’s downtime.
(Yeah right)

Jo doesn’t get much spare time. But when she does, she spends it with her four beautiful kids, or practising Jiu Jitsu in her very own dojo. (She’s a blue belt, so make sure you are never anything but kind!)

In addition to her invaluable and highly skilled team of 21 at Platinum Pre School, Jo also has her ‘marvel’ team that helps her in all her many enterprises. These include a Lawyer, Accountant, Bookkeeper, Business Coaches, Early Childhood Consultant and a Therapist.

All of the above are integral to her own personal growth not only as an educator, but also as a business owner and mentor to others.
