About our centre

Goodstart Early Learning Booval is located in a residential area close to schools, shops and community facilities.
 
Our vision is ‘Every day, every child at our centre is given the opportunity to be successful, with the support of positive relationships, rich educational programs and learning environments. Encouraging each child’s individuality to shine!’
 
Our educators pride themselves on the strong relationships we build with our children and their families.  We believe that parents are the child’s first teacher, and we will work with families closely to ensure that we are providing the highest of quality care and opportunities for their children to grow and develop as individuals.
 
Our dedicated educators are qualified and are passionate about the importance of the first five years of a child’s life, and the significant impact that high quality early learning programs can have on their lives. We aim to encourage children to learn through our play-based programs, providing them with the skills they need to become confident and lifelong learners.
 
Our rooms range from Nursery to Kindergarten and are set up based around the children’s current interests and from there that is where we extend on the children’s learning. It is our focus as a centre to provide the children with high quality play-based programs and learning opportunities that will assist the children to grow through each of the rooms and prepare them for their eventual transition to school with the support of our Bachelor Qualified Teacher.  We are lucky enough to have 3 Bachelor Qualified Teachers within our service.
 
Our Storypark platform enables us to stay in close contact with parents and families, ensuring open and clear communication. This also means we can tailor each program to the child’s individual needs, interests, and strengths, as well as the strong level of cultural diversity in our centre.
 
Outside, we have age-appropriate play spaces and equipment, all geared to enhance the children’s awareness of their surrounds and the greater environment, as well as their understanding of the importance of sustainability, with sandpits, digging pit, sunflower gardens, totem area, water tanks, undercover veranda, veggie patch and worm farm.
 
Within our centre we exceed at collaborating partnerships with families and our surrounding community to ensure we are supporting the individual needs of our centre and the children and families that enter our doors. Through our ratings and assessment process our centre rated exceeding in inclusion due to our high inclusion of children with additional needs, both behavioural and additional diagnosis’s. We continue to work collaboratively with Allied Health Professionals, community-based supports and schools to ensure we are providing children and families with the support they require to meet each individual child’s developmental milestones.
 
We look forward to meeting all our future families and getting to build a positive, open relationship that will assist in the growth and development of your children to become amazing little people.

Alicia Doolan

Centre Director

My name is Alicia and I am the Centre Director for Goodstart Early Learning Booval. I have been working in the childcare industry for over 19yrs, 15 of those years has been with Goodstart. I have been a Director for Goodstart for the past 14 years working in a number of Goodstart Centres. I hold my Advanced Diploma in Children’s Services.

I am a mother of 4; and my children are my world and remind me of why I chose to work in childcare so many years ago. I started my time in childcare as a Centre Float and worked my way up to a Centre Director role by the time I was 21yrs. During my time I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience and I apply that to my role ensuring I provide my families and children with the highest quality of care.

Working in childcare is not only my job but it is my passion, and it has continued to be my passion for the past 18yrs. I have not only grown as a person but as an educator, as the childcare industry has evolved, I have evolved with it to ensure I am providing the best outcome for our families and children. The first 5 years of a child’s life is the most important and for me to be a part of that is extremely rewarding. Every child is unique, and it is our role as educators to support and guide children as they grow and learn in their own way

I look forward to you becoming a part of our little community 😊
