Goodstart Early Learning Cockburn Central

Welcome! My name is Amy Davis and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Cockburn Central.

I hold a Diploma of Early Learning and have worked in the early learning sector since 2011. Over this time, I have worked in many different services and areas of educating children.

I have been with Goodstart Early Learning since 2018 and have loved working for a not for profit organisation who ensures children are central to everything we do. We are consistently looking at ways we can improve the sector to create quality care for our children and families.

I am strongly driven by quality and that is why I believe Goodstart is the perfect place for children to learn and grow.

I feel each child should be given a great start to life and I dedicate my time as a Centre Director to ensure we provide great learning opportunities and a safe and caring environment for all children.

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.
