Backing people to lead the way: Meet our WA State Manager, Joelene Brown
We’re proud to announce Joelene Brown as Goodstart’s State Manager for Western Australia
At Goodstart Logan Village, children learn, grow and thrive in a nurturing environment where curiosity, connection and discovery guide each day. Located behind Logan Village Mall and across the road from Logan Village State School, our centre offers families a welcoming early learning community with strong ties to the local area. Situated on the lands of the Yugambeh people, we create meaningful learning experiences that help children build confidence, independence and a lifelong love of learning. From our warm relationships to our nature-inspired environments, every aspect of our program is designed to support children to learn through real-life experiences and play.
Our experienced educators take the time to build meaningful relationships with every child and family, creating a sense of security that helps children feel confident to participate, explore and grow. These strong connections, combined with our longstanding team, create a warm and familiar environment that many local families have trusted for generations.
As children move through our nursery, toddler and kindergarten rooms, learning experiences are thoughtfully tailored to support each stage of development. By the time children leave for school, they have developed the skills, confidence and independence needed for a positive transition to their next chapter.
We'd love to welcome you to Goodstart Logan Village. Book a tour to meet our team, explore our learning environments and experience our centre community for yourself.


I was lucky to join the team at Goodstart Logan Village in early 2023 and felt so lucky to join such a dedicated team. I hold an Advanced Diploma of Early Childhood and have a Training and Assessor background for Early Childhood and take great joy and satisfaction in overseeing and caring for the children, families and educators here at Goodstart Logan Village. I have been working within the Early Childhood Industry for 25 years. These years have included training fellow educators and growing Centres as a Director.
I strongly believe that your child’s first experiences in Early childhood education should be positive as it establishes their attitude for learning for their whole life. I believe that fostering children and Educators love of learning and development is important- with my qualifications in Training and Assessing I support my educators to engage in furthering their education and attending professional development courses.
The people! From a quick morning hello to the amazing engagement, we receive from our community on topics that are near and dear to our hearts- such as Reconciliation and Support the less fortunate, it is the people who build our community. I have met some wonderful people in the community who come from all walks of life. I love stopping to have a chat with these people, helping to support them in their ventures and adding their life's experience and knowledge back into the centres.
When I’m not in the centre, you’ll find me spending time with my family and dog Thor. I have a passion for design and enjoy turning drab unloved rooms into spaces where you can thrive and feel comfortable. In my quiet moments i often pop on a podcast- these include learning more about our amazing industry. I have an 18-year-old daughter who attends the service and performs for the children in our care. My daughter holds her Certificate 3 in Early Childhood Education and Care and is working on her Diploma in Dance- you might see Melody around the centre as she often comes dressed up as much loved suit characters, such as Bluey, Coco-melon and more.
Our centre has so many wonderful things that you and your children can engage in. Our team is amazingly supportive and enjoy engaging your child in experiences that interest them and suit their needs and abilities. We can't wait to get to know you and your family!
I look forward to welcoming you and your family.
