Meet Our Team
Kaycee and Angie are sisters, best friends and business partners. So please, excuse the sibling banter!
Kaycee Larney
CO-FOUNDER & PLAY BOSS
Playworker
For almost 15 years Kaycee has worked as a Childcare Educator, her enthusiasm for learning, development and play has only continued to grow with her family. She fundamentally believes in play-based education, which is reflected in her programming. Kaycee delivers bespoke experiences for children of all ages, designed to encapsulate core benefits delivered from messy and nature play.
Kaycee loves being a mum, it is her greatest accomplishment in life – but it hasn’t come without heartache or of course, bloody hard work! Mum to three – Preteen, Lola. Angel Baby, Louie and Rainbow Baby, Macie. Her gentle and kind nature creates an atmosphere where families feel comfortable, safe and free from judgement.
Angie Casella
CO-FOUNDER & BIZ BOSS
Playworker
Angie is a mum of two little men.
Atticus and Evander are the light of her life and greatest gifts. A self-confessed over-sharing advocate on all things parenthood, Angie has found an uncanny sense of humour throughout this new journey.
Previously seen as over worked, stressed and stretching herself too thin, Angie has truly embraced motherhood and has settled into her new role nicely – being employed by her tiny human, Atticus. Although she has been known to say he is the most demanding boss to date
Lola
Big sister and cousin or second mumma bear? Lola is our kind, caring and gentle soul, who is absolutely adored by our little babes. She is passionate about music and the arts, headphones in or pencil in hand. While you won't see her at classes, she happily helps test for our school holiday events and workshops.
Atticus (AKA. Beans)
Affectionately known as "Beans", Atticus is a busy little boy, always thinking and watching, but rarely sleeping! You will find him anywhere you can find wheels, moving parts or occasionally cooking in the kitchen. This little explorer loves a complex challenge and problem solving. He is the kind of child who will pull things apart, just to see how they work!
Macie
Our Macie seems to attract mess, even when you think there is none to be found. Her determination and independence beautifully reflects the benefits of unstructured play. You will never see this little explorer clean, so if you don't mind sticky hands, she will happily share a hug!
Terese Tobin
FOUNDING MEMBER / PLAYWORKER
With a larger than life personality, Terese has been with Curious Me since it opened its gates in 2018. Proudly named a founding member, while Terese is not technically employed, she is an incredibly valued part of the team. Terese volunteers countless hours of her time and is always willing to talk business, strategy and development. It was a long and relentless journey to becoming a mumma for Terese. After nine long years, Allana finally made her entrance into this world.
Allana
Much like her hair, Allana is strong willed, vivacious and an absolute delight!
There is no doubt you haven’t met her, she is present each term, and is usually the messiest at every special event.
Georgie Stirling
PLAY WORKER
Sisters doing it for themselves! That’s proudly our Miss Georgie. A single mum from across the ditch, there isn’t anything she can’t do. She is the muscles of our team, not just strong mentally, but physically too. Like many other mumma's, Georgie started at Curious Me to learn about open ended and unstructured play. She has now become a valued member of our team, pulling all the weight when we can’t.
Aria
Like many other little explorers that enter our gates, Aria is not the biggest fan of mess (Surprise!). But that has never stopped her thriving in our environment. Aria is off to prep this year, so you won’t see her about class. Like most children, she is a lover of the outdoors; enjoying camping, horse riding and the park.
