About Goodstart Blackmans Bay

Goodstart Early Learning Blackmans Bay is located in close proximity to shops and schools. It is also only five minutes from Kingston, 10 minutes from Margate and 20 minutes from Hobart. It is located only two minutes in from the main Channel Highway which traffic passes through to go to Kingston, Hobart and Margate.

The centre is not on a main road and has good fencing which gives excellent safety appeal. The centre has been open for four years. It is beautifully stocked with educational toys and equipment which is all supported by a purpose built centre. We also have some lovely natural resources including tyres and logs which we have added to make a fun and exciting playground.

Our staff are qualified and experienced and we are all committed to providing high quality childcare and education.

We provide early learning & care to these groups:

Emma Callanan Centre Director

My name is Emma Callanan and I am the centre director at Goodstart Blackmans Bay. I relocated to Tasmania from England in 2009 and I have since completed my Bachelor of Education in Early Childhood. I have worked in the early childhood and education care sector for over 10 years in a variety of settings both here and in the UK.

I enjoy working with educators and families to create a supportive and inclusive centre that allows children to grow and develop in their own way. We engage children’s curiosity through creating positive learning experiences that support their interests and enthusiasm. I want to work with you and your child to build strong family and community connections.

I look forward to welcoming you and your child to our centre.

"From the moment we walked in the door we felt comfortable to leave our child in the care of staff at the centre. Staff are professional and caring, building great read more relationships with parent and child. The centre is well set up and facilities suitable for the child's age. With a fabulous outdoor area, children get to spend a lot of time outdoors. Our needs have always been met and I would highly recommend the centre."
