Hello, my name is Rhian and I am proud to be the Centre Director at Goodstart Wynnum West – Crawford Road.

I hold an Advanced Diploma in Children’s Services and have worked in early learning since 2008. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong passion for creating nurturing, high-quality learning environments where children feel safe, supported and confident to grow.

At Goodstart Wynnum West – Crawford Road, we strive to create a true home away from home—a place where every child feels a sense of belonging and is supported to flourish. We are committed to giving each child the very best start in life, and this belief shapes our daily practices and the learning experiences we provide.

We place great value on working in partnership with our families, believing that the best outcomes for children come from strong, trusting relationships between parents and our team. By collaborating, sharing insights, and learning together, we create a supportive and connected learning community that truly supports each child’s growth and wellbeing.

I warmly invite you to visit our centre, meet our dedicated team, and see firsthand the caring, welcoming environment we’ve created. We would love to welcome your family into our community.

Hi, I’m Mandy Baylis and I’m the Assistant Director here at Goodstart Crawford road, Wynnum west.

I hold a Diploma in Early Childhood Education, and take great joy and satisfaction in overseeing the educational programs and care at Goodstart Crawford Road - Wynnum West.

I have been in the Early Childhood industry for over 20 years and in management for 7 of those years. I have worked in a range of services both private and non for profit, working with children from birth to 12 years.

My Early Learning values:

I strongly believe that your child’s first 5 years are the most important, it’s where they learn the fundamentals for a great start in life.

What I love about our community:

The people! From a quick morning hello to the amazing support given when we do a local fund-raising drive it is the people who build our community.

A little more about me:

When I’m not in the centre, you’ll find me spending time with my family, we enjoy going out on day tours and experiencing this wonderful land we live on. I enjoy reading, dancing and singing, you will often hear me sing about my day, burst out in song to celebrate achievements and to boost moral within the centre.

Why your child should spend the day with me (and the amazing team at Goodstart Wynnum West - Crawford Road).

At Goodstart Wynnum West - Crawford Road, we strive to provide a safe, peaceful, and natural environment that engages children's five senses, provoking wonder, curiosity, and intellectual engagement.
