Centre Director
Hello everyone, my name is Catherine, and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Nuriootpa.
My amazing husband, our 2 beautiful young adult daughters and I have recently relocated to Nuriootpa upon return to our hometown of Adelaide. Our adult son decided to remain in our previous coastal hometown of Portland, VIC. Portland is a small regional town, much like Nuriootpa and I learned so much about being a part of a close knit community while living there the past 11 years.
I have worked in the early education and care profession in between having children and holding other positions since 1995. I gained my Certificate 3 in Children’s Services in 2009 and then my Diploma in Children’s Services in 2011. I have been fortunate to have worked in many roles over the years and have extensive experience being a part of various services leadership teams.
Learning and growing professionally is of the utmost importance to me. I believe that through exposing ourselves to education and experiences we take responsibility for our professional growth. We can then better learn to support all our team, families and of course children, while striving for continuous improvement and service excellence.
It is my belief that children, require a safe environment that will allow them to be the best version of themselves. Children will grow in confidence when we work as a team with them, their families, educators, and agencies, to provide individualised and group play based opportunities.
Building relationships with the educators, children, families, and citizens of the Nuriootpa community will be my focus as Centre Director.
I am extremely excited to continue my early education and care journey here at Goodstart Nuriootpa and look forward to meeting each of you.

From our first tour to our son’s first days at daycare, the team at Goodstart in Nuriootpa has been amazing. They’ve gone above and beyond for our family, and nothing has ever been too much trouble for them. I love getting daily photo updates about what our little guy has been up to. As a first-time mum, leaving him was never going to be easy, but the staff made the transition much smoother than I expected. Within just a couple of weeks, I noticed a positive change in him—he came home with a newfound sense of confidence. He’s built great relationships with the carers, and it’s made drop-offs so much easier. We’re so grateful for everything they do!
