Goodstart Early Learning Mount Waverley

Play is the order of the day of Goodstart Early Learning and the programs at the centre are grounded in a play-based approach. The educators embed teaching and learning into play experiences, helping the children to make sense of the world around them. This is how the children learn about how things work and develop important foundational relationships and skills. 

The primarily child-directed, play-based curriculum ensures that the children are engaged in their learning. They are encouraged to take the lead, developing their negotiation, risk taking, problem solving and social skills. The educators observe the children and help to challenge them by extending their learning and interests.

The educators recognise that every child is unique and that they bring their own needs, interests and strengths with them each day. The program is designed to be flexible to cater to these differing needs, ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive at Goodstart.

Hi, I’m Anne Jayasingha and I’m the Centre Director here at Goodstart Mount Waverley.

I have been working in the Early Childhood sector since 2012 and I have been with Goodstart for almost 10 years.

As a Mother of one, I understand the importance of the Environment and Early childhood Intervention in  building children’s learning and development.

I have held variety of roles within Goodstart including Senior Educator, Educational Leader, Inclusion Champion, Sustainability Champion, Safety Champion and Assistant Director.

I am an advocate of children’s rights and believe that children have the right to make their own decisions and choices.

I support educators in providing hands-on environment that promotes self-help skills and Independence that encourages curiosity, active learning, values, problem solving, language and literacy development and positive self-image.

Here at Goodstart Mount Waverley we believe that working collaboratively and having a successful partnership with our families and the community, we will be able to support children in reaching their full potential by providing them a nurturing, safe, active and challenging environment that is conducive to overall health and wellbeing.

We look forward meeting and welcoming you and your family!
