Learning
We provide a fun and engaging education program that is based on the individual needs and interests of each child, and in accordance with the Early Years Learning Framework. Colourful, stimulating surrounds ensure the children have the chance to grow and develop through sensory, play-based learning.
In all our rooms, from Nursery to Kindergarten, our educational program and practices are set-up in line with the Victorian Early Years Learning Framework and the National Quality Standards.
Outside, we have a wonderful area for the children to explore and let their imaginations flow. Our two areas have sandpits, fairy gardens, a digging patch, vege patch, climbing area, bike track, tan bark area, and lots of shade.

Our Team are passionate, caring, qualified and participate in professional development programs.
We have a strong team of dedicated educators, some of whom have been with our centre for over eight years.
Our on-site cook provides nutritionally-balanced hot lunches freshly prepared each day.
Extras!
Community is important to us. Your child will be able to participate in events and activities throughout the year we are able to enrich the learning experience. Art and music experiences are provided daily which allow the children to freely express their creativity.
We communicate with families via newsletters, daily communication sheets, and quality conversations face-to-face during drop-off and pick-up.
We love to have special events at the centre including family days, dress up days, family dinners and more.
Our Storypark platform (a phone app), as well as regular family nights and emailed newsletters, enable 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.
Centre Director
Hello, my name is Christine, and I am the Centre Director at Narre Warren - Pound Road South.
I have been with Goodstart for the past 5 years and prior to Goodstart I previously managed a play center in Bayside, this is when I knew I wanted to continue to work with children. I began as a support educator with Goodstart and then stepped up into different roles over the last few years as a, Key Educator, Team Leader, Safety Champion, Assistant Director and lastly Center Director.
I am in my final stages of studying my Advanced Diploma of Community Sector Management.
As a mother I strongly believe all children should feel safe, supported, and always respected. Providing a warm secure environment for all children to thrive and grow socially, emotionally, and physically is important to us as a team. Making strong connections with children, families and educators is something that I seek out and enjoy about my role. We as a center endeavor to work with each family individually to create a quality learning experience for each child.
On weekends and time away from the center I enjoy spending time with family, my adorable fur babies, traveling, upcycling, and gardening.
We look forward to meeting you and your family and discussing your child/ren’s learning goals.
