I have had the pleasure of being the Centre Director at Goodstart Mount Pleasant since January 2018. I have worked in the childcare industry for over 20 years and for Goodstart specifically for 13 years and have been blessed to have many roles in my career.
My passion has always been advocating for children’s rights and providing a rich and purposeful program that is conducive for learning. Being a Centre Director means balancing the head and heart as an Early Learning Leader and it takes consistency, determination and a leader that can work collaboratively with their team, children, families and the community for enhanced outcomes at the centre. This was recognised in 2025 when I proudly won the Regional QLD Early Learning Leadership Award.
Goodstart Mount Pleasant is a centre that believes in relationship based care and having Educators who are empowered and educated to ensure that they are going the little bit extra to provide a home away from home for our children and families. I am very proud to work at this centre and look forward to new families joining our community.

At Mount Pleasant, you and your child can enjoy the best of both worlds. Our centre offers a kindergarten program and long day care under the one roof. Our kindergarten teachers are University qualified and provide a play-based learning program that will support your child in learning the skills for school and life.
