Hello! My name is Marita and I’m the Centre Director of Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Coopers Plains. I have an Advanced Diploma of Children’s Services and I have worked in the Childcare industry since 1994.

I choose to work in child care because I believe that the first five years of a child’s life are the most important. I want to be a part of encouraging them to grow and develop a love of learning early in life.

My devoted team and I strive to provide the highest quality care to all of the children that attend our service. We believe that trust, respect and consistent communication form a strong partnership with families.

We respect and support the role of families and their involvement and participation is essential to ensuring continuity, a high quality program and progression in a child’s learning and development of future success.

We invite you to come and visit our centre to meet our team and to see for yourself our commitment to your child’s early learning journey.
