At Goodstart Warnbro, our philosophy centres around the belief that every child is a unique individual with their own interests and strengths. We embrace a play-based learning approach that nurtures curiosity and creativity, allowing children to explore their world in meaningful ways. 
We prioritise: 
1. Holistic Development: Supporting cognitive, emotional, social, and physical growth through engaging and developmentallyappropriate activities. 
2. Family and Community Engagement: Building strong partnerships with families and the community to create a supportive network for each child. 
3. Inclusive Environment: Celebrating diversity and ensuring that all children feel valued, respected, and included. 
4. Lifelong Learning: Instilling a love of learning by encouraging exploration, problem-solving, and critical thinking. 
Through our philosophy, we aim to create a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive and become confident, capable learners. 
Children need to feel safe and supported to learn and grow, so we promote key educator relationships between our educators and children. Your child will have at least one educator (their key educator) who takes them under their wing and really gets to know them. 
Our Key Educator relationships help children form secure attachments. Educators work closely with smaller groups and individual children to better understand each child. These relationships lead to improved outcomes for children as we foster more communication between families and educators. 
We inform families regularly about their child's progress and welcome family involvement in our centre events and activities.
At our Warnbro centre, we're proud to inspire your child's love of learning with the support of our passionate and qualified early childhood experts. Teachers with bachelor's degrees run our three and four-year-old kindergarten program, so children can be well on their way to excellent learning outcomes by the time they start school. 
At Goodstart, we believe all children deserve the best possible start in life, which includes access to high-quality early childhood education and care. We offer:  
- Discounts on multiple days  
- All day sessions  
- Fee assistance programs for families that need support
We work closely with parents to ensure the individual needs, interests and strengths of children are considered, and our learning goals reflect them. Using Storypark, a wonderful communication platform, we stay in close touch with families and ensure you're well informed about your child's development and achievements.

Hi, my name is Tara Anderson and I am the Centre Director of Goodstart Warnbro.

First and foremost, I’m a mum of two beautiful children, who have also settled into the Goodstart Warnbro family with me.

I have worked in the Early Learning sector for 10 years and have built many wonderful relationships as well as long lasting memories with children, families and staff along the way.

Spending the time getting to know the children, families and staff and establishing strong relationships within the service is something that I find is crucial in creating a warm welcoming environment for children to thrive in. I am present in the moment and enjoy offering assistance and support wherever I can.

I truly believe creating a home away from home environment provides children with the best opportunities to not only learn and grow, but to flourish.

I am an advocate for the Reggio Emilia Approach, seeing children as competent and involved learners and providing them with opportunities to take their learning in the direction they want. Children learn the most when they are engaged and enjoy what they are doing while feeling safe and supported in their environment.
