Hayley Martin

Smart Tots Capalaba Director

Diploma in Child Care and Education

Hi, I’m Hayley, the Director at Smart Tots Capalaba. I’ve been in early childhood education for over 15 years, and during that time, I’ve been privileged to watch so many children grow, learn, and thrive. Supporting children as they develop foundational skills and build their confidence is what I’m most passionate about. I love working closely with families to create a safe, secure, and nurturing environment where children feel valued and supported to reach their full potential.

I also take great pride in mentoring and supporting our team of educators. For me, it’s all about empowering them to deliver the highest quality care and education, ensuring every child has the best possible start. At Smart Tots Capalaba, we’re not just a centre—we’re a community, and I’m so proud to be a part of it.

Happy Parents Say It Best!

“We were one of the first families to go to Smart Tots when they opened back in 2016. My boy has loved attending the centre. All the staff are amazing and so caring. He has just graduated from the kindergarten room as he will be starting school in 2019. We can’t wait until our little girl is a little older and she will be attending the centre.”​
