ASX listed early childhood education and care provider Mayfield Childcare has confirmed the appointment of Daniel Stone as its new Chief Executive Officer.
The news comes after an almost five month search process that was triggered by the resignation of Ashok Naveinthiran, who confirmed his intention to transition out of his role in September 2024.
Mr Stone joins Mayfield after an extensive period working in senior leadership roles in the outside school hours care (OSHC) sector having most recently held the position of Chief Operating Officer and Deputy CEO at TheirCare Pty Ltd an organisation that has seen extensive growth in recent years.
Prior to joining TheirCare, Mr Stone worked in a range of finance and operations leadership roles at other large OSHC providers including KidsCo Australia as General Manager OSHC, Junior Adventures Group as General Manager Partnerships and Camp Australia as General Manager Operations.
“The Board is delighted to announce Daniel Stone as the new CEO of Mayfield. We were committed to selecting a leader capable of steering the Company’s future direction, and after careful consideration, we are confident that Daniel is the ideal choice,” Roseanne Healy, Mayfield Chair said.
“Daniel has had significant executive leadership experience in large complex operations managing growth. He also has the necessary operational and sector credentials to build and grow the Company.”
Commenting on his appointment Mr Stone said, “I’m honoured to step into the role of CEO at Mayfield.”
“There is a critical demand for high-quality, accessible childcare that continues to grow. I see immense potential to continue to elevate the quality of care Mayfield provides to support attendance growth while delivering on the fundamentals of governance and control to support operational efficiency across the organisation.”
“I look forward to getting to know the incredibly talented team at our Mayfield centres and working together with the Management team to create an inspiring and innovative environment where children thrive, parents feel confident and educators love to be.”
Mr Stone will commence in his new role on 8 April 2025.
