Hi there! I'm Kelly and I am your Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Murarrie.

I have proudly worked in the early learning sector since 2000, beginning my journey as a trainee and progressing through roles as an assistant manager before becoming a Centre Director in 2010. Over the years I’ve gained hands‑on experience across all age groups from birth to six, and my Bachelor of Teaching has equipped me with a deep understanding of early childhood pedagogy and high‑quality educational practice.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of leading teams through quality improvement journeys to meet—and exceed—the National Quality Standards. I believe strongly that the strength of a centre lies in the strength of its team. I am genuinely excited to support and empower the dedicated educators at Murarrie as we continue striving to provide the very best outcomes for children and families.

I recognise that families are a child’s first and most important teachers. Because of this, my door is always open. I value genuine partnerships with families and will always make time to listen, collaborate, and support you. The relationships I build with children, families, educators, and teachers are what make my work so meaningful—every day, I learn just as much from you as you do from me.

On a personal note, I’m a mum of three and relocated from Victoria to Queensland in 2023. Outside of work, you’ll often find me exploring local op shops, enjoying art, or immersed in a good book.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me.
Kelly
