About our centre

We cater for up to 70 children a day, between the ages of six weeks to six years old. We have rooms catering for; Nursery, Toodler, 3 year-old kinder and 4 year-old kinder children.
 
Our rooms are spacious and set up according to our program and Early Years Learning Framework curriculum. Parents and families are an important part of the learning journey and our Storypark platform helps us keep in close contact with parents to share achievements and milestones.
 
Outside, we have a lovely and natural space with big trees and lots of space for our children to play in. Our outdoor areas have recently been renovated with a new playground designed by one of the parents at our centre. 

Our children love to explore this exciting play space with a vegetable patch, rainwater tank, sandpits, swings, a discovery path, worm farm, rain water tank and of course our little pet rabbits. Our resident rabbits also help teach the children about caring and being responsible.
 
Our child care centre offers a wonderful learning environment, where children are nurtured and cared for in an environment that is secure, supportive and fun!  Our educators are all qualified or currently studying towards their formal qualifications and pride themselves on delivering a fun and educational learning experience for all the children in our care. We work hard to ensure that children form strong and lasting relationships with their peers and educators. Most of the educators have been at our centre for more than 6 years.
 
We are a family friendly centre and encourage our families to be active participants in our programs. We believe that this collaboration assists children in developing to their full potential.
 
We look forward to welcoming you and your family to Goodstart Pascoe Vale Cumberland Road East!

Mousumi Chowdhury (Sumi)

Centre Director

Hello, my name is Mousumi Chowdhury (Sumi) and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Pascoe Vale Cumberland Road East.

I have been working in this for just over 14 years. I have worked across numerous age groups, as an assistant and room leader and developed myself As an ECT in the Kinder room. I have also worked as an Educational Leader since 2021 and assisted my team to deliver high quality program where every child thrives for success. 

As the Centre Director at Goodstart Pascoe Vale Cumberland Road East, my personal philosophy is rooted in a deep commitment to fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment where children can thrive. I believe that the foundation of effective early childhood education lies in the following principles:

1.    Child-Centered Approach: I view each child as a unique individual with their own interests, strengths, and potential. It is my responsibility to create an environment that is responsive to their needs and encourages their curiosity and creativity.

2.    Empowerment through Relationships: I am passionate about building strong, trusting relationships with both children and families. I believe that when children feel safe and secure, they are more willing to explore and learn. Engaging with families as partners in their child's education enhances the learning experience and supports a sense of community.

3.    Quality and Continuous Improvement: High-quality early childhood education is essential for children's development. I am dedicated to fostering a culture of excellence within our centre, encouraging staff collaboration and professional growth. By reflecting on our practices and seeking feedback, we can continually improve our programs and the experiences we offer.

4.    Play as the Heart of Learning: I believe that play is fundamental to children's learning and development. I advocate for providing rich, engaging, and stimulating environments where children can explore, experiment, and develop critical thinking skills through play.

5.    Diversity and Inclusion: I am committed to embracing diversity in all its forms and ensuring that our centre is a welcoming space for all families. By valuing different cultures, perspectives, and abilities, we create a richer learning environment that benefits everyone.

6.    Lifelong Learning for All: My philosophy extends beyond the children to include educators and families. I believe in fostering a love for learning that lasts a lifetime. By providing opportunities for professional development and family engagement, we can cultivate a community of learners that inspires one another.

In my role as Centre Director, I am dedicated to leading by example, promoting a positive, collaborative atmosphere that encourages everyone to contribute to our vision of high-quality early childhood education. Together, we can support every child's journey towards lifelong learning and success.
