Goodstart Early Learning Cowandilla

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.

Alline Agustino Nunes

Hi, my name is Alline, and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Cowandilla.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and a Diploma in Early Childhood Education. I feel privileged to utilise my knowledge and skills to help young children explore and learn about themselves and the world around them. I love being part of the wonderful Goodstart Cowandilla community!

I believe that it takes a village to raise a child and that relationships built on trust lay the foundation for everything. I enjoy watching the children in our care grow and develop each day and there is nothing more rewarding than seeing a child learn with passion and wonder. 

I understand the importance of building strong relationships with the children, families and team and my priority is always to build a trusting and caring environment in which the children, families and team can thrive. I believe family and community involvement is essential for providing high quality education and care.

At Goodstart Cowandilla, children are seen as unique individuals with a great capacity to learn and make positive contributions to those around them. We strive to provide an inclusive environment built on respect where everyone is welcomed and accepted. 

We pride ourselves on having devoted and dedicated educators who have been in the service for years, creating a sense of comfort and familiarity for all families and children. Our classrooms and learning environments are extensions of the children’s homes.

We look forward to meeting you and your family!
