Hi, my name is Kelly Tolhopf from Education Insight Solutions. With over 23 years of experience in the Early Childhood Education sector, I specialise in taking away the administrative burden for centre owners and managers. From maintaining compliance documentation to conducting thorough audits of employee safety checks, I provide tailored solutions that allow you to focus on what matters most—delivering exceptional care and education for children. I understand the complexities of managing compliance and ensuring employee safety checks are consistently up to date.
Throughout my career, I’ve held various roles including being a teacher, entre manager and then a centre owner. This has given me a well-rounded understanding of the operational, educational, and leadership aspects needed to run a successful centre. As a fully registered teacher, I have firsthand experience of the challenges within the ECE sector and the importance of ensuring regulatory requirements are met efficiently.
I work closely with you to ensure your centre stays compliant, while safeguarding both your staff and the children in your care. My mission is to provide expert guidance in compliance, and operational excellence—helping you achieve long-term success.
Let’s Work Together!
Every Early Childhood Centre is unique, and so are the challenges it faces. That’s why I take a personalised approach to every consultation, working closely with you to understand your needs and goals. Together, we can create a roadmap to success and ensure your centre continues to thrive.
