Goodstart Early Learning Ballarat Creswick Road is located not far from Ballarat's busy C.B.D, allowing central access to many areas of employment in the Ballarat area and surrounds.
The centre is situated on a large allotment, giving us plenty of room to enjoy our outdoor environment! We have two large playground areas.
Our professional, trained carers pride themselves on providing nurturing, fun and positive educational learning environments for the children in our care incorporating the Early Years Learning Framework. They work hard to ensure that each child and their family becomes part of "our family".
Building on relationships with children and families is the basis of all that we offer. Our families enjoy coming together when we celebrate special events such as Special Visitors Day, Australia's Biggest Morning Tea and our Christmas Basket Tea, but know that they can come to the centre at any time!
Jody Easdale
Centre Director
My name is Jody Easdale and I am proud to have been the Centre Director here at Creswick Road for the last six years.I have been with the Goodstart family for 15 years, since completing my Associate Diploma of Social Science (Childcare) in 1995 at the University of Ballarat (SMB Campus).
I believe that our families always come first and aim to provide a safe, secure, supportive, fun, flexible, nurturing and caring environment for all our families.
I believe we must provide opportunities and experiences that encourage the development of the whole child.
It is my goal to promote language skills, self help skills, gross and fine motor development, cognition and thinking, whilst also considering family values and beliefs and the social and emotional needs of each child.
