About our centre

Goodstart Early Learning Glendale is located in a safe and convenient residential area, close to local schools, shops and community services, as well as public transport. Our service was built in 2006 and caters for children 6 weeks of age to five years, across six rooms, with two large nature based playgrounds.  

We create daily programs for children using the Early Years Learning Framework as the foundation for each program, and in turn we take into account children’s interests, culture, and abilities to meet all individual needs. Each room offers a flexible routine, and engaging environments for all children, incorporating age appropriate challenges, and a variety of different learning opportunities throughout each day such as Bush Kindy.
 
We believe that relationships are key at Glendale, and we pride ourselves on the strong, reciprocal relationships we have built via the key educator approach with children and families that attend our service, and also the local community. In addition to this, the Echo (Enhancing Children’s Outcomes) social inclusion program our centre is involved in, allows our service onsite access to a child and family practitioner, occupational therapist and speech therapist who work closely with educators to strengthen their professional knowledge and importantly, enhance children’s outcomes for school and life.

We use Storypark to document children’s learning, newsletters, and the upcoming and past participation in community events. 
 
All meals are prepared on site by our qualified cook who uses tasty, fresh and nutritional ingredients – just the thing to keep hungry tummies satisfied.

We invite you to come in have a tour of our lovely centre, and meet out amazing educators. We look forward to meeting you in the near future.

Alisha Pritchard

Centre Director

Hello, my name is Alisha Pritchard and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Glendale.

I began my journey as an Early Childhood Professional in 2006 and joined Goodstart Early Learning in 2017. I have obtained my Bachelor of Teaching at the University of New England which has assisted me with my work practices in the diverse centers and positions I have worked in over the years.

I joined Goodstart Glendale in 2023 and I feel so privileged to lead a highly qualified, experienced, and dedicated team that shares my vision of creating and maintaining rich and meaningful learning environments and embedding high quality practices that promotes lifelong learning for all individuals.

At the heart of my philosophy, I believe that forming strong and respectful relationships with all stakeholders is vital to providing the children with every opportunity to reach their full potential. I also believe in equity and inclusion and always strive to ensure that all children feel empowered to explore and learn in their own way and in their own time.

Please come into the centre or give us a call as we would love to meet you and your family to discuss how we can work in partnership to provide your child with the best possible early learning journey.
