Through our philosophy, we aim to create a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive and become confident, capable learners.
Children need to feel safe and supported to learn and grow, so we promote key educator relationships between our educators and children. Your child will have at least one educator (their key educator) who takes them under their wing and really gets to know them.
Our Key Educator relationships help children form secure attachments. Educators work closely with smaller groups and individual children to better understand each child. These relationships lead to improved outcomes for children as we foster more communication between families and educators.
We inform families regularly about their child's progress and welcome family involvement in our centre events and activities.
At our Vermont - Canterbury Road North centre, we're proud to inspire your child's love of learning with the support of our passionate and qualified early childhood experts.

Centre Director
Hi there! My name is Jodie and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Vermont - Canterbury Road North.
I have been working in the childcare industry for 15 years and I hold my advanced Diploma in childcare. During my career I have had the opportunity to work with different age groups and across the variety of areas in the industry.
I have two beautiful boys of my own, so I understand the need for parents to have peace of mind when seeking out the best in early learning and child care for their child. That's why we have a policy of open and clear communication.
For me, it is all about making learning fun for the children; allowing them to be children, while offering them the very best in early learing opportunities.
The team I am fortunate to work with shares my passion for seeing children meet their potential. They are dedicated, professional, experienced and highly qualified.
We invite you to come and visit our centre to meet our team and to see for yourself our commitment to your child’s early learning journey.
