About our centre

Goodstart Hobart's wonderful team of early childhood professionals work in partnership with families and the broader community to provide an environment that is inclusive, respectful and accepting; where all children will develop a sense of belonging and connectedness.

Our child care programs aim to extend each child’s learning and knowledge by offering experiences directly related to individual interests and needs. Children are provided with the opportunity and freedom to explore independently, be creative and initiate further experiences.

Goodstart Hobart recognises that the well being of the whole child is important and promotes this by offering a range of outdoor and physical experiences within the community.

Please contact our centre to arrange a time to meet the team and to have a look around our wonderful centre. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Mary Bosco

Centre Director

My name is Mary Bosco, and I am honoured to serve as the Centre Director at Goodstart Hobart, a role I commenced in November 2024.

My journey with Goodstart Early Learning began in 2012, starting as an Early Childhood Teacher (ECT) at Goodstart Claremont. Over the years, I have been fortunate to grow within the organisation, including stepping into a dual role as both ECT and Educational Leader (EL) during a maternity leave period, and most recently, serving as Acting Assistant Director in September 2024.

Working closely with children, families, and educators has been a source of great joy and fulfilment throughout my career. Some of my most rewarding moments have been spent on the floor with children—listening to their imaginative ideas and witnessing their growth and learning. This enduring passion for early childhood education continues to inspire and motivate me in my leadership.

Returning to Goodstart Hobart as Centre Director holds special significance, as I was once a parent here in 2004. It truly feels like coming full circle, and I am incredibly proud to now lead the centre where my own son began his early learning journey.

As a parent of four children and a fur baby, I deeply appreciate the importance of providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where every child can thrive. I am dedicated to building strong partnerships with families and supporting our educators to deliver enriching learning experiences.

I look forward to collaborating closely with the Goodstart Hobart community to continue fostering a centre where every child feels valued, inspired, and supported.

Kind regards,
Mary Bosco
