Goodstart Early Learning Nambour - City View Terrace

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 there! I’m Jessica, and I have been the Centre Director at Goodstart Nambour City View Terrace since October 2020.

I have been part of the Early childhood sector for 20 years and have loved every minute of it. I have my Advance Diploma in Children’s Services. I originally came from Melbourne and moved up to the sunny coast and have made Goodstart Nambour – City View Terrace my home.

I love working with young children and watching them grow and develop through their personal journeys. I believe that each child will learning in different ways and environments and my role is to help create these spaces for them while at our centre.

I am particularly fond of our Bush Kinder we have in our big yard – this is a space for the children to connect with natural and have holistic learning experiences with engaging the elements around them.

My door is always open, come down and say hello as we would love to start your child’s learning journey with us.
