Robyn Hotton
I have a Diploma of Early Childhood Education and have been teaching for 26 years. I am a founding staff member of Scallywaggs and have spent the past 22 years working within Scallywaggs Education & Care services. During this time I became an educator enabling me to spend time at home with my own children, returning to Scallywaggs as the General Manager and also the Regional Manager for Sprouts In-Home Childcare.
I have an amazing supportive team of teachers and educators who take real pride in their work providing a safe and educational home environment for children in their care.
