Hi, my name is Helen Bear and I am the Centre Director here at Goodstart Middle Park.

I have been in the child care industries since 2008 when I first moved to Brisbane from North Queensland. I am a mother of 3, and have lived in the local area since 2016.

I am a very passionate leader and very dedicated to the industry. I have worked for Goodstart since 2012 in many roles most of which have been leadership roles, guiding educators in their Professional development.
I am very passionate about inclusion and make sure that each and every child within the care environment feels safe, heard and part of our Goodstart Family. I believe every educator, Centre, child and family are unique and strive every day to ensure I am learning all I can about each and every member of our Centre, their perspective, their interests and their unique way of learning (child, family and educators alike).
I am a very bubbly, kind, approachable leader who has focus and dedication to making our Centre be a successful, enjoyable place for children and families to come every day. I look forward to meeting you all as you come and visit the Centre.

I look forward to welcoming you and your family.
