Sara Thao shares all about her life and thriving early learning career in Regional QLD.
Our centre is located in the local community of Corrimal in Wollongong, conveniently located on Midgley St, not far from the main business precinct. We educate and care for children between six weeks old and six years old across three indoor learning spaces and two outdoor environments. Our learning environments at Goodstart Corrimal are designed with a focus on natural play spaces, featuring large logs, outdoor kitchens, sandstone boulders, sandpits and slides, compost bins, worm farms and water tanks - all designed to support children to interact with and care for our natural environment.
Our early learning educational programs cater to each individual child's stage of development, from six weeks of age to preschool-aged children. Our curriculum is centred around the Early Years Learning Framework and is tailored to your child's unique strengths, needs and interests. We use Storypark to document your child's progress of learning, which you can view at any time.
With a highly experienced team on board, Goodstart Corrimal offers your family high quality early learning and care. All of our experienced educators hold formal qualifications - either a Bachelor of Early Childhood Teaching, Certificate III or Diploma in Children’s Services - and are passionate about delivering a leading early learning curriculum in a welcoming and inspiring environment. Our school-readiness goals focus on supporting children to successfully transition to school and we have close connections with local schools such as Corrimal Public School
We have eight car spaces conveniently located right outside our centre’s doors for drop offs and pick-ups.
What's included in the daily fee?
I have a Master of Education (Early Years) with Distinction, and I have built an extensive career dedicated to early childhood education spanning over 20 years.
I view early childhood as a sensitive and rapid growth period for young children and believe exposure to high quality learning environments and responsive educators can have a positive impact on a young child’s life long successful learning journey.
I am also an active member of the teaching community, where I am an academic/lecturer, teaching the Bachelor of Early Childhood Education and Care (Birth – 5years) as I believe it is just as important to nurture quality teachers and educators in their learning journey.
We are a dedicated team at Goodstart Corrimal creating a place where children, families and educators thrive – a community built on trust, empathy and a shared vision for a better world.
We look forward to meeting you, to showcase our vision of quality early childhood education and care.
