Goodstart Early Learning Heatley - Fulham Road

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.

Karen

Hello and welcome! My name is Karen and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Heatley Fulham Road (previously located at Taylor Street, Heatley)

I have been in the early learning sector since 1988 and I have a Diploma in Children's Services. I have had the opportunity to work with all age groups and I have worked as the centre's 2IC and educational leader for a number of years.

I love what I do!

I believe in providing children with a warm, engaging environment that provides them with opportunities to be involved in their own fun and learning.

I feel privileged every day to be part of families’ lives and for the opportunity to be involved and watch children grow and thrive as they start on their own journeys.

Every single child is unique, important and an individual in their own right. It is a view I share with my wonderful team - all of whom are expereinced, qualified and committed to providing the highest quality in care and early education.

Drop in and say hello! We would love to make you and your family welcome and the centre and discuss how we can start your child on a journey of lifelong learning.
