Celebrating excellence: Asuka Kirby named Goodstart Educator of the Year
Discover how the Senior Educator uses art and inclusion to inspire children in Toowoomba.
Our centre is located in the leafy suburb of Boronia, Melbourne. The centre is easily accessible with bus stops right at our front door and we have loads of off-street parking. Our centre consists of trained and experienced educators, with a majority of us having the minimum qualification of our Diploma in Children’s Services.
We believe that children learn through play and our educators facilitate this learning by providing experiences based on the individual interests and strengths of each child.
Our goal is to ensure an environment that is highly inclusive by fostering each child’s development from where they are at, in all domains of development.
We believe the centre is part of the families’ community and all families are invited to actively involve themselves in the curriculum. Our open-door policy encourages our families to stay and play, as well as inviting family participation through our various centre events, excursions, incursions, family days and social events.
Our centre offers newly renovated large outdoor environments for each age group. We embrace this resource by undertaking indoor/outdoor play daily. Our educators use outdoor time to implement activities which allow children time to develop both physically, socially and emotionally through play. A combination of intentional teaching experiences and free-play time for learning and development stimulates the children’s growing curiosities and supports their interests.
In our Kindergarten setting we provide a wide variety of incursions, once a month, at no extra cost. These range from drama workshops to woodwork and sports sessions. We also provide some incursions across all age groups annually, such as animal visits. The Kindergarten group also go on a number of excursions away from the centre, some walking excursions and some longer trips by bus.
We would love to meet you so feel free to bring your family in for a tour of Goodstart Boronia.


I relocated from Perth, Western Australia at the beginning of 2021 and have continued my Goodstart journey here in Boronia. Originally, I moved from Singapore to Perth in 2009 and began my career with Goodstart Early Learning in 2010. Over the years, my journey with the organisation has been both rewarding and enriching, and I take great pride in being part of Goodstart.
Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with all age groups and in a variety of roles. These experiences have provided me with a strong foundation of knowledge, understanding, and leadership within the early learning sector. I completed my Bachelor of Early Childhood Education with Curtin University in 2015.
As an experienced educator, leader, and a mother of two beautiful girls, I deeply understand how important it is for families to feel confident that their children are in a safe, caring, nurturing, and loving environment. Early childhood is such a crucial time in a child’s development, and I am passionate about creating a space where every child feels secure, supported, and inspired to learn.
I am excited about the privilege and responsibility of being a meaningful part of your child’s early learning journey. Building positive relationships with families, grounded in trust, respect, and open communication, is something I value greatly.
I look forward to meeting you and working together to provide your child with the high-quality care and education they truly deserve at Goodstart.
Warm regards,
Vicky Segaran
