About Us

Jo O’Brien is a mum to four beautiful children, Olivia, Ruby, Henry and Gigi. Jo has over 30 years’ experience and qualifications in Education. After watching her children grow up, Jo saw a need in the area for enriching a child’s time in Early Childhood Education. She wanted to create a safe learning space where there was a strong focus on developing the holistic development of each child, so she carefully and successfully designed Platinum.

Jo began to research programs designed with the intention of where children are headed. This led to Jo opening a centre that balances the social, emotional and academic skills children require to transition into the primary world and to help them to develop a love of learning whilst becoming resilient, empathetic and creative learners.

And it is for that reason everything in the Platinum centre has a purpose; every toy, every game, every activity and every action. Every, single, thing.
