Goodstart Centenary Heights

As a Director of Childcare, I see my role as both a leader and a mentor.
I strive to lead with empathy, fairness, and integrity, supporting educators to feel confident, valued and inspired in their work.

I believe that early childhood is a critical period in which children develop the foundations for lifelong learning, wellbeing, and relationships.

My role is to lead with integrity, compassion, and purpose, ensuring that every child is provided with a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment where they feel valued, respected, and capable.

I believe children are competent, curious learners who thrive when they are supported through play-based, child-centred experiences. It is my responsibility to ensure our programs reflect best practices in early childhood education and promote each child’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development.

Strong, respectful relationships are at the heart of quality care. I value open communication and collaboration with families, recognising them as children’s first and most influential educators.
By fostering partnerships built on trust and transparency, we can work together to support each child’s individual needs, culture, and identity.

I am committed to leading and supporting educators through ongoing professional development, reflective practice, and positive mentorship.
I believe empowered, respected educators create high-quality learning environments and model the values we wish to instil in children.

Equity, inclusion, and continuous improvement guide my leadership.
I am committed to inclusive practice, continuous improvement, and reflective leadership.
I believe in creating a positive workplace culture where diversity is respected, voices are heard, and learning is ongoing for both children and adults.

I always want to create a culture where diversity is celebrated, voices are heard, and policies and practices are continually reviewed to ensure the highest standards of care, education, and safety.

Above all, my philosophy is grounded in the belief that every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.
