Goodstart stories
Why people and social connections are the most important drivers of children’s learning
People are the curriculum. They are the environment, and they are the relationships that build children’s sense of safety and curiosity.
Welcome to Goodstart Leeton, where children are supported to grow with confidence through play, connection and meaningful relationships. Located on Wiradjuri land and close to local schools, healthcare and community services, our centre offers a welcoming environment where every child feels a strong sense of belonging. With experienced educators and thoughtfully designed learning spaces, children build independence, curiosity and a love of learning from their earliest years. Book a tour to see how your child can thrive with us.
What makes our centre special:
Each day, children engage in play-based learning experiences guided by their interests, strengths and stage of development. Educators intentionally embed literacy, numeracy and social skills into everyday moments, helping children build confidence, resilience and positive relationships.
Our experienced team creates a warm, supportive environment where children feel safe, secure and ready to explore. With many educators having long-term connections to the centre, families benefit from strong partnerships and consistent care throughout their child’s early learning journey.
Children enjoy meaningful community connections, including regular visits to local aged care residents where they share stories, music and play. These experiences nurture empathy, confidence and a sense of belonging within the wider community.
Our recently upgraded indoor and outdoor environments provide inspiring spaces for children to learn, create and grow. Fresh, nutritious meals are provided each day, supporting children’s health and wellbeing.

With over 28 years of experience in early childhood education, and 20 of those years proudly spent at Goodstart Leeton, I bring a deep commitment to nurturing young minds. I hold a Diploma in Children’s services and have worked across various roles including Senior Educator, Assistant Director, and Director.
I believe a child's first experiences in education shape their lifelong attitude toward learning. That’s why I'm passionate about creating a safe, inspiring, and inclusive environment where every child feels valued, supported, and encouraged to explore their world.
I'm fortunate to lead a dedicated and highly qualified team who share my vision for early learning. Together, we strive to spark curiosity, wonder, and joy in every child's day.
We’d love to welcome you to our centre, come meet our team and see how we support your child’s early learning journey!
