At Goodstart Evanston Park, our philosophy centres around the belief that every child is a unique individual with their own interests and strengths. We embrace a play-based learning approach that nurtures curiosity and creativity, allowing children to explore their world in meaningful ways.
We prioritise:
Through our philosophy, we aim to create a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive and become confident, capable learners.
Children need to feel safe and supported to learn and grow, so we promote key educator relationships between our educators and children. Your child will have at least one educator (their key educator) who takes them under their wing and really gets to know them. 
Our Key Educator relationships help children form secure attachments. Educators work closely with smaller groups and individual children to better understand each child. These relationships lead to improved outcomes for children as we foster more communication between families and educators. 
We inform families regularly about their child's progress and welcome family involvement in our centre events and activities.  
At our Evanston Park centre, we're proud to inspire your child's love of learning with the support of our passionate and qualified early childhood experts. Teachers with bachelor's degrees run our preschool program, so children can be well on their way to excellent learning outcomes by the time they start reception. 
At Goodstart, we believe all children deserve the best possible start in life, which includes access to high-quality early childhood education and care. We offer:  
We work closely with parents to ensure the individual needs, interests and strengths of children are considered, and our learning goals reflect them. Using Storypark, a wonderful communication platform, we stay in close touch with families and ensure you're well informed about your child's development and achievements.

Our family absolutely love our centre! We have been at our centre for 4 years now with both of our children having had attended and currently attending. Both of our kids have and do love their time at childcare. They learn so much, have a great time everyday and are genuinely cared for and loved by the amazing team of educators. The educators are wonderful people. They put everything in to making sure the children have great new experiences and do genuinely care about them and their family. The centre is a very wholesome and welcoming community.
Goodstart has been a great place for my Son. He has development delays in all areas and they were really helpful in helping me find some allied health professionals who could work with him. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. They have great continuity of care with the staff so that each morning the same staff are there to meet and greet. My Son always seems happy to go there and happy at pick up time.
With over 16 years of experience in leadership roles within early childhood education and care, I am passionate about creating inclusive, supportive environments where every child’s voice is heard and valued. I hold an Advanced Diploma in Community Sector Management and am currently working towards a Bachelor’s degree in Education (Birth to 5 Years).
Throughout my career, I’ve focused on empowering children to become lifelong learners by equipping them with the tools, support, and encouragement they need to thrive. I’m deeply committed to ensuring every child feels included and their unique needs are met, fostering an environment where they can flourish both socially and academically.
My dedication to continuous professional growth and my ongoing studies continue to shape my leadership style and teaching philosophy. This commitment enables me to enhance the learning experiences of both children and educators, creating a nurturing, high-quality environment in early childhood settings.
