Goodstart Early Learning Jindalee

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.

Deanna Raboczyj

Welcome! My name is Deanna, and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Jindalee.

Hi, my name is Deanna Raboczyj, I am the Centre Director for Goodstart Jindalee. I am a wife, mother of two children, I have a passion for animals, traveling within Australia (in a camper) and an AFL mum. I have a passion for watching my son play AFL on the weekends.

My favourite food is Mexican and Hamburgers. On my days off you will find me in my camper with my children and dogs, On the beach, walking along flea markets, reading, doing puzzles, colouring and I have just started getting into diamond painting. I do want to learn how-to stand-up paddle board.

I have worked for Goodstart for the past 8 years; I have worked up from an Educator to become a director. My last centre was Coorparoo Cavendish Road where I was the director for the past 2 years. It was a challenging time through Covid, we were Assessed and Rated and of course the Floods. (We took on a lot of flood families from Tarragindi.

So, I understand how hard it has been on the families moving to other centres. My love for the children keeps me focused in helping create a safe and exciting centre to be in. I am always available for a cuddle or just for a chat for my little friends. I enjoy watching children grow into big school leavers and watch them thrive.

I am looking forward to working with my new team and creating a centre that is inviting for the children to explore their imagination, creativity, sense of belonging and empower them to become independent little humans.

Feel free to pop in for a visit and I can show you around…
