Goodstart Semaphore Park - Childcare Centre

Brooke Pearce Centre Director

Hi I’m Brooke Pearce and I have been an Early Childhood Educator for 12 years. I believe that the first 5 years are the most important years of a child’s development and create the foundations of what they will grow into. If we can help a child to develop the ability to form strong, trusting relationships as well as understand their emotions in a nurturing environment, they will have the key tools needed to develop into confident, trusting and competent adults.
 
I believe that children are more capable than what a lot of people give them credit for and if given the opportunity they are able to succeed at challenges they attempt. If we give children the same amount of respect and trust in their abilities as we give adults, we can see their capabilities and confidence grow. If we can find activities that we can share interest in with children we can work together with them in a play environment to develop their learning.
 
Since becoming a mother I have expanded my understanding of children as well as what other parents go through. This has given me the ability to develop a different relationship with families in the Early Learning Environment, as I now understand the different challenges families face with their children when not in the care environment, meaning I am able to offer advice and understanding of these challenges.
 
I strive to give all children the opportunity to develop safe and secure relationships with those around them, so they have a ‘safe space’ to return to when exploring new environments and skills. It is a passion of mine to ensure that children feel safe in their environment as this give children the confidence to explore and test their own limits, extending on their own learning and development with the knowledge that they have support whenever they need it, but also someone who shares their confidence in their ability to succeed.
 
As the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Semaphore Park, I am committed to supporting children and their families in what can be a big step of starting in an Early Learning Centre. The educators throughout the Centre share this same commitment and work closely with families to make this as smooth of a transition as possible.
 
If we give children the tools and opportunities to succeed they will be able to do this with confidence which will continue to grow as they develop into more experienced and knowledgeable people that will be able to share these skills with those around them.
