Goodstart Claremont

I have worked in the Early Childhood Education sector for approximately 17 years and have proudly been part of the Goodstart family for an incredible 11 years. Throughout this time, I have built strong and lasting relationships with children, families, and educators, always bringing warmth, dedication, and a genuine passion for early learning.

I began my journey with Goodstart as a Group Leader at our North Hobart Centre before progressing into the Assistant Director role. From there, I became Centre Director at Blackmans Bay, where I spent five wonderful years, before moving into my current role at Claremont.

What inspires me most about my role is seeing the joy on children’s faces as they learn and grow. I feel privileged to work alongside families and educators to create a community where everyone feels supported, valued, and connected.

Outside of the centre, I enjoy shopping and spending quality time with my family, especially with my nephew, supporting his love of basketball and soccer and cheering him on in all his endeavours.

Why Choose Goodstart Claremont?

Goodstart Claremont is more than an early learning centre,  we are a vibrant and connected community where children, families, and educators grow together. We pride ourselves on creating a welcoming environment where every child feels at home, every family feels supported, and every voice is valued.

Our centre is built on strong community partnerships. We actively collaborate with local schools, services, and organisations to enrich children’s learning and strengthen their sense of belonging. Whether through community events, family workshops, or shared celebrations, we love bringing people together and creating meaningful connections that extend beyond our centre walls.

Our passionate educators are deeply committed to nurturing each child’s unique strengths, interests, and cultural identity. Through engaging, play-based learning experiences and warm, responsive relationships, we empower children to explore confidently, express themselves freely, and develop the skills they need to thrive now and into the future.

At Goodstart Claremont, families are our partners. We listen, collaborate, and celebrate your child’s milestones alongside you. When you join our centre, you are not just enrolling in early learning, you are becoming part of a supportive and inclusive community that genuinely cares about your child’s wellbeing, growth, and happiness.
