About our centre

Goodstart Early Learning West Pymble is rated as Exceeding the National Quality Standard and is located in the leafy suburb of West Pymble near the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park.

We are a 34 place centre, with children aged six weeks to five years and we have qualified staff who plan programs for children to aid in their learning and development. We follow the Early Years Learning Framework and incorporate the use of computers in the preschool room. Our programs are based on the child's interests and needs.

Our centre carers and teachers deliver engaging and educational learning experiences for every child. The staff encourage friendships to develop among children and families at our centre and watch these flourish during your child's time at Goodstart West Pymble. We have many families who have formed long lasting friendships - not only children, but parents as well. 

Our Storypark platform, as well as regular family nights and newsletters, enable us to stay in contact with parents and families, ensuring open and clear communication. This also means we can tailor each program to the child’s individual needs, interests and strengths.

We have three outdoor areas all with age appropriate play spaces and equipment. Children learn through play and are encouraged to explore the dirt pit, worm farm, veggie patches, bike path, and balance of natural and manmade play spaces. We also use the outdoor area to help the children learn about the importance of sustainability.

Our Centre Cook provides tasty and nutritious meals for the children.
 
Community is also important to us and through visits to the centre and participation in events and activities throughout the year we are able to enrich the learning experience.

Cultural experiences include art and music and are provided on a daily basis which allow the children to freely express their creativity. We also take pride in learning about all of our families unique cultures and sharing these special experiences at the centre. 

Goodstart West Pymble is an employer of choice. We actively encourage our Educators to further their learning in many ways including: pursuing formal education pathways (Diploma and beyond), regularly undertaking professional development courses and keeping pace with developments in Early Childhood Education through extensive reading.

Come in and meet the team, take a tour and see how we can work together to give your child the best possible start in life.

Yifan Hu

Centre Director

Hi there, my name is Yifan Hu, and I am the Centre Director of Goodstart West Pymble.

I began my journey in the Early Childhood Education sector in 2014. Throughout the years I have been working in different capacities including Early Childhood Teacher, Assistant Director, and Centre Director.

I hold a Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood Education) from RMIT University with Honours First Class and am currently a Higher Degree Research (HDR) candidate at the Sydney University School of Education and Social Work. My research interests revolve around social justice, early language development, and educative assessment. I am interested in investigating how these aspects can re-inform educators’ teaching practice leading to uplifted children’s learning outcomes at the centre level.

I am a passionate advocate for children’s voice and their rights to play, combined with a strong focus on parent-teacher and teacher-children relationships. Leveraging my internal & external networks with a range of early childhood specialists, I strive to create a safe & enabling environment for all children, where their individual needs are catered to centre-wide. Existing families always comment on how our service feels more like a home away from home.

Children are at the heart of everything we do. My professional team of educators and I look forward to working collaboratively with you and your family. Together, let’s ensure your children have the best possible start here at Goodstart West Pymble.
