Goodstart Early Learning Marleston

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, I am the Centre Director of Goodstart Marleston. Here’s a little bit about me.

I am bringing with me an extensive 10+ years of experience in early childhood learning. Prior to joining the childcare industry, I was a full-time mother and that sparked my interest in working with children. I have one daughter who is studying in high school, and I also have a beautiful fur baby (Simba).

I was born and brought up in India and moved to Australia in 2008 with my husband and daughter. Life has not been easy, but I have learnt that hard work always pays off and never goes unnoticed. I am a master in computers, but my passion lies with children. 

I love to go out for retail therapy whenever I get time, not something my husband likes to do! I also like to travel to new places.

It will be an honour to lead the dedicated team at Goodstart Marleston. I look forward to working with all the amazing families and to create an inclusive environment for children and the staff. I believe that the environment around us always plays a great role in shaping our personality and psychological wellbeing and it is my aim to create such environment in our centre.

I would love the opportunity to show you through our beautiful centre and answer your questions.
