Jarrod Hibberson

Centre Director
Hi, I’m Jarrod and I’m the Centre Director here at Goodstart Lavington.

I am honored to introduce myself as the new Director of Good Start Lavington. With over a decade of experience in the early childhood education sector and a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care, I am deeply passionate about fostering environments where children, families, and educators can thrive.

Throughout my career, I have embraced a variety of roles, beginning as a Certificate III Assistant Educator and progressing through positions such as Room Leader, Educational Leader, Director, and Area Manager. These experiences have provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the sector and have strengthened my commitment to high-quality education and care. My leadership journey extends beyond the workplace, as I have also developed strong leadership skills through my involvement in sports, both as a participant and as an umpire. These experiences have taught me the value of teamwork, resilience, and clear communication.

I am excited about the opportunity to lead Good Start Lavington and to work collaboratively with our dedicated staff, supportive parents and children, and the wider community. My goal is to build strong, trusting relationships and to create a nurturing, inclusive environment where every child feels valued and empowered to reach their full potential.

Outside of work, I am a proud parent of three wonderful children who keep me active and inspired. I am also passionate about horticulture, holding a diploma in the field, and I enjoy spending time outdoors, whether it’s bushwalking, gardening, or participating in community sports.

I look forward to the challenges and opportunities ahead and am eager to contribute to the continued success and growth of our center. I am committed to open communication, continuous improvement, and fostering a culture of respect and collaboration.

Thank you for welcoming me to the team. I am excited to embark on this journey with you all.
