As a first time mum, I was super nervous about parting with my daughter when she was 18 months old. All the staff made the transition easy, and didn’t make me feel like a burden for calling a few times a day to check in and always called me if she was upset All the staff made me and my daughter feel super comfortable with all the changes and changes to rooms she had made throughout her time at the centre Now that my daughter is in kindergarten I will miss all the staff dearly and thank them so so much
Centre Director
Hi there! My name is Kimberley Carter and I am the Centre Director here at Goodstart Early Learning Onkaparinga Rise.
I have worked in the early learning and child care sector since 2003. I hold a Diploma in Community Services (Children’s Services) and an Advanced Diploma in Community Sector Management. I am also a certified Marte Meo Practitioner, which has been instrumental in building strong, lasting relationships with children and their families.
I'm very passionate about delivering high quality care to all families and children within my centre. I am an advocate for professional development for myself and all educators, as I believe this only continues to build strong and passionate professional educators who actively implement, promote and advocate for high quality outcomes for all children and families.
I believe that all children are unique and should be respected, and I thoroughly enjoy watching them grow and develop into independent little people.
I look forward to welcoming you and your family to our centre. I am always available to discuss how we can support you and your child on the pathway to lifelong learning.
