We embrace a play-based learning approach that nurtures curiosity and creativity, allowing children to explore their world in meaningful ways. 
We prioritise: 
Holistic Development: Supporting cognitive, emotional, social, and physical growth through engaging and developmentally appropriate activities. 
Family and Community Engagement: Building strong partnerships with families and the community to create a supportive network for each child. 
Inclusive Environment: Celebrating diversity and ensuring that all children feel valued, respected, and included.

Children need to feel safe and supported to learn and grow, so we promote key educator relationships between our educators and children. Your child will have at least one educator (their key educator) who takes them under their wing and really gets to know them. 
Our Key Educator relationships help children form secure attachments. Educators work closely with smaller groups and individual children to better understand each child. These relationships lead to improved outcomes for children as we foster more communication between families and educators. 
We inform families regularly about their child's progress and welcome family involvement in our centre events and activities.

Amber Zaidi
Centre Director
Hello, my name is Amber and I'm the Centre Director at Goodstart Bondi Junction Oxford Street North.
My name is Amber Zaidi, and I am a passionate and dedicated early childhood teacher with over 17 years of experience shaping young minds and fostering a love for learning. As a mother of teenagers, I understand firsthand the critical role that nurturing and advocacy play in supporting children’s growth, not just within the walls of a centre but also within the broader community. This personal insight drives my professional commitment to creating environments where children feel safe, valued, and inspired to explore their potential.
For more than a decade, I have served as a Centre Director, a role that has allowed me to refine my leadership skills and build inclusive, nurturing spaces where children, families, and educators thrive together. My approach to leadership is rooted in collaboration, innovation, and an unwavering belief in the transformative power of early education. Whether it's mentoring my team of educators or working closely with families, I strive to empower those around me, fostering partnerships that elevate the quality of care and education we provide.
At the heart of my teaching philosophy is the conviction that educators are instrumental in shaping not only a child’s cognitive and emotional development but also the strength and unity of families. I take immense pride in mentoring my team, offering guidance, support, and inspiration to help them reach their full potential as educators. By cultivating a culture of collaboration and continuous learning, I ensure that every child under our care receives the best possible start in life.
Beyond my professional responsibilities, I am deeply passionate about community advocacy and believe in championing the rights and needs of young learners. My work extends beyond the classroom as I actively seek opportunities to create lasting, positive change, advocating for policies and practices that prioritize the well-being and success of children.
Through my dedication, experience, and vision, I aim to leave an indelible impact on the lives of children, families, and communities, contributing to a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
