We are Goodstart Bowen and our enthusiastic and vibrant educators will offer your family a safe and nurturing environment that you will feel comfortable bringing your children to be a part of.

Through assistance, encouragement, praise, acknowledgement and a sense of achievement we provide an atmosphere where children feel at ease, comfortable and safe.

Play for fun and enjoyment makes learning at Goodstart Bowen so enchanting.

Our playground was jointly funded by the Commonwealth and State Governments through grants designed to improve access to early learning services, and assist centres in meeting the requirements of the National Quality Standards. The outdoor spaces were designed by our centre team, who consulted with children, families and community members to develop our plans.

Hi, my name is Tracey Chrzanowski and I am the Centre Director here at Goodstart Bowen.

I bring 20 years of experience in working within the early childhood profession. I am passionate about children’s development and education and an advocate for children’s rights, believing all children have the right to live a happy safe and healthy childhood and receive the opportunity and support to develop to their full potential.

I hold my Diploma in Children’s Services and have had experience working with children in a range of child care environments. I love that children learn from a play based, interest based approach and strive to provide the best environment for children to do this.

I am passionate about providing and teaching children the importance of living in a sustainable environment.
