About our centre

Goodstart Cooranbong is a 39 place Centre located in the city of Lake Macquarie, west of Morisset.

We have 2 rooms at our Centre, and we take children from 12 months to 6 years.

Our Centre provides a warm, child led learning environment where each child is set up for succession, regardless of their needs and desires. Each child is encouraged to extend on their interests, investigate in education and play and become their true self.

Both our indoor and outdoor learning environments are progressive and programmed following the Early Years Learning Framework, Pedagogical Practices, children’s emerging interests and age-appropriate developmental milestones. We encourage children to partake in risky play experiences, messy play experiences, science experiments, group/collaborative play and intentional teaching group times.

Our Centre provides 5 meals per day- breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and late snack. We have a cook who prepares meals for the children, and we can cater for any dietary requirements.

Our highly trained Educators, inclusive of Trainees, Certificate 3, Diploma and Qualified Teachers are extremely passionate about quality education and care. We are passionate about creating an environment that is welcoming, ensures that children feel a sense of belonging & security and invites family and community collaboration.

We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you as a part of our special Goodstart Cooranbong community.

Maddison Pethybridge

Centre Director

My name is Maddison, and I have the pleasure of being your Centre Director here at Goodstart Cooranbong.

I have worked in the Early Childhood Sector for 12 years and I hold my Diploma in Children’s Services. I have also worked as an Early Intervention teacher and as a business Development Manager for 5 years.

In the early childhood sector, my belief is that every child deserves the opportunity to feel safe, be educated and be heard and this is something I embed in my practices, as Centre Director. I am extremely passionate about early childhood development, as well as inclusion and supporting children to have the foundation to get the best start in life.

In my spare time I love travelling, visiting new restaurants, exercising and spending time with my fiancé.

My aim is to ensure that parents, guardians and families feel a sense of security with my team when you drop your child/ren to school each day- this is so important. I pride myself on leading a nurturing team who provides a warm, welcoming environment for our little humans to grow and thrive.

I look forward to meeting you and working with you and your family.
