Hi, I’m Zoe—founder of Edzocate, former Prep teacher, and mum of two. I bring together years of classroom experience and real-life parenting to help families and educators make learning playful, meaningful, and calm.

Why Edzocate?

When I became a parent to two under two, I searched for the “perfect” children’s activity that we would ALL enjoy and I fell short. When I couldn’t find it, I created it. That’s how the Edzocate Educational Playgroup was born.

At Edzocate, we follow a gentle, pre-kindergarten rhythm designed to help children and parents feel calm, connected, and confident. Each 90-minute session is thoughtfully structured but never rushed. You’ll be right there, by your child’s side, sharing in the play and learning together.

It’s the same (awesome) families each week, so friendships can bloom naturally—inside and outside the playgroup.

My Background

Before Edzocate, I spent 10 years teaching in public schools in Brisbane, mostly in early years classrooms.

I hold:

✔ Master of Educational Leadership & Management
✔ Bachelor of Primary Education
✔ 10+ years of teaching experience
✔ Online and in-person parent education
✔ Set for School classes for 3-5 year olds

I’m passionate about empowering parents, carers, and educators to nurture the whole child through purposeful play and calm connection.
