About our centre
Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Barton!
At Goodstart Barton, we take pride in our strong sense of community. We forge connections with local families to promote children's inclusion, learning, and well-being. Our goal is to empower children to be active participants in their world. With a team of highly qualified educators and Bachelor-qualified teachers, we ensure that each child receives the highest quality of education.
Our environment is exceptional, welcoming children of all ages, cultures, and developmental stages. Our educators represent 19 different cultural backgrounds and are fluent in 20 languages, with foundational knowledge in an additional five. Our Early Learning Centre provides an excellent opportunity for your child to learn in a fun, friendly, professional, and nurturing setting. Our dedicated team is passionately committed to delivering outstanding Early Childhood Education and Care. We aim to foster a nurturing and inclusive atmosphere where every child is not only valued but also cherished, ensuring they feel supported as they embark on their unique learning journeys.
Collaboration lies at the heart of our philosophy; together, we craft engaging and meaningful experiences that nurture growth across all developmental domains—cognitive, social-emotional, and physical. By pooling our collective knowledge and celebrating one another's distinct strengths and perspectives, we create an enriching environment that gives every child the best possible start in life.
We place a strong emphasis on open communication, both within our team and with the families we serve. Cultivating solid relationships rooted in trust empowers us to meet each child's individual needs while keeping parents and guardians well-informed about their child's progress and significant milestones along the way.
Our commitment to continuous professional growth is deeply ingrained in our team ethos. We embrace opportunities for lifelong learning through engaging professional development programs and dynamic networking events. This dedication ensures we remain at the forefront of research-driven practices in early childhood education, enabling us to provide the highest quality of care for every child entrusted to us.
We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to welcome you and your family into our vibrant community.
Angela Uhle
Centre Director
Hi there! Hello, my name is Angela Uhle, and I am the new Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Barton.
I have been engaged in Early Childhood Education for nearly 19 years. Originally from Germany, I migrated to Australia in 2002 with my wonderful husband and our two beautiful sons. After primarily residing in Canberra, we moved to a small country village in 2014.
My journey in Early Childhood Education began in 2006 at a privately owned Centre, which Goodstart later acquired. I have held various roles throughout my career, including positions at several Goodstart Centres across Canberra, where I served as either an assistant director or acting director. During my journey I acquired my Diploma in Children's Services and am pursuing my Bachelor of Education in Early Childhood Teaching with UNE online.
I am deeply passionate about building strong relationships with children and their families. Early education is more than just a profession for me; it is a profound commitment. I understand the significance of the first five years of a child's life and the necessity of creating an environment where children feel safe and supported. Equally important is the trust that families place in us educators. As educators, we have the privilege of teaching, nurturing, and witnessing remarkable daily milestones. Celebrating these moments with children and their families is truly special. Ultimately, nothing is more vital than ensuring the health and happiness of a child.
