Andrea's journey with the Goodstart QPP scholarship
How a scholarship helped Andrea Bolton, educator at Goodstart Trinity Beach, gain her Certificate III in early childhood education.


I began my journey in 2006 as a parent at the centre which inspired me to begin my studies in Early Childhood. During the practical component of my Certificate III in Children’s Services, I was fortunate enough to be given employment at the centre (then Kidzkorp) as a casual educator across all age groups in the centre.
After transitioning to a permanent role, I spent over 7 years working with the younger babies in the nursery room as Group Leader, before being given the opportunity to lead the wonderful team at Goodstart Woy Woy as Centre Director in 2015.
I am fortunate to work with a team of highly qualified and passionate early learning educators whose, commitment and experience is an asset to our centre. We pride ourselves on having a diverse team representing so many great cultures and backgrounds which brings a richness that is highly valued by the children, families, community and educators.
I would love the opportunity to meet you and your family – and explore how we can support you and your children on their early learning journey.

At Woy Woy, you and your child can enjoy the best of both worlds. Our centre offers a preschool program and long day care under the one roof. Our preschool teachers are University qualified and provide a play-based learning program that will support your child in learning the skills for school and life.
