Empowering Families to Play, Connect & Grow - Together

Hi, I’m Zoe!

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.

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
✔ Registered teacher

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

A Bit More About Me

When I’m not running Edzocate, you’ll usually find me:

☕ Enjoying an almond latte

💪 Waking up before my kids to do reformer pilates

🎾 Playing social tennis

🚤 Heading to Manly with my husband and two kids (aged 2 & 4) for fish and chips and boat-watching

🌟 Looking for the small, sparkly moments everyday as life is so precious—I call these glitter moments.
