Goodstart Early Learning Greenvale

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.

Penny Beaton

Hi there! My name is Penny and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Greenvale.

I have been in the childcare industry for 30 years, having started in 1990. I have worked with children from six weeks to five years of age. I have a Diploma in Children's Services and have been with Goodstart for about 20 years.

I believe that we, as early childcare professionals, play a very important role in helping all children grow and develop to their fullest potential as individuals. Every child has the right to the best possible start in life - and it is a privilege to be a part of such an important part of their life and development.

The team I am fortunate to work with shares my passion for seeing children meet their potential. They are dedicated, professional, experienced and highly qualified.

We invite you to come and visit our centre to meet our team and to see for yourself our commitment to your child’s early learning journey.
