I have had the privilege of knowing and working with Sonja Walker for several years and am consistently amazed by her energy, focus, passion and absolute commitment to the families and children that she cares for through Kids First.
The qualities I most admire in Sonja are her empathy, integrity, insight and expertise and these are tangibly expressed in the way that she has so successfully grown Kids First into a highly regarded education and health centre that parents like me rely on. Her passion for her business and its role in the community has seen her attract a team of professional and caring staff around her that share her vision of empowering parents to be the champions of their children’s development.
