Parking details

Parking We have several onsite parking bays at the front of the centre.
Goodstart Early Learning Girrawheen is located in a quiet area of Girrawheen. We back on to a Catholic Primary School and sit across the road from Girrawheen Senior High school. 

We are surrounded by a small shopping complex with both a Doctor's and Dentist' surgery.We are a very multicultural centre with staff and families from many different backgrounds. Many of the staff at the centre are parents themselves which always helps them to be sensitive to the settling in process.

All staff work very hard to ensure the children settle smoothly into the day care environment. This ensures that the relationship between the child and the caregivers is a positive one throughout their time at the centre.

Our caregivers pride themselves on providing a clean and safe environment for all children as well as providing fun, educational and exciting activities for the children to participate in. We offer the children a chance to experience activities in all areas including science, maths, computers, multi-cultural, diversity and gender equality.

All children have the right to an individual opinion, and are treated as individuals with unique personalities, as we support them to grow and learn.

Both the families and the staff enjoy coming together as a whole when the centre celebrates special events and days such as Mother's/Father's day afternoon tea, Pyjama Day, and our Christmas Party, to name a few.

Our centre plays an important role in the lives of our families and we hope each family enjoys being a part of our centre.
Lisa Dare
Centre Director
My name is Lisa Dare and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Girrawheen.  I have 12 years experience in childcare working as an assistant and qualified caregiver before taking on the role of Centre Director, which i have been since 2006. 

I gained my Diploma in Children's Services in April 2003 and thoroughly enjoy my role as Centre Director. 

I believe that family is an important influence on a child's growth and development. Therefore I believe that parents should be welcomed into the centre at anytime - to ask questions, offer support and join in with the programs we provide for their children.

I am committed to providing the best resources for our children so that they may grow and develop to their full potential. I aim to support my staff in providing the children with daily experiences designed to address each child's individual needs.
