Jody Broun joins the Board of Goodstart Early Learning
Paul Robertson, AO, Chair of Goodstart Early Learning has welcomed Jody Broun to the Board of the nation’s largest provider of early learning and care.
Goodstart Blackmans Bay
Goodstart Early Learning Blackmans Bay is located in close proximity to shops and schools. It is also only five minutes from Kingston, 10 minutes from Margate and 20 minutes from Hobart. It is located only two minutes in from the main Channel Highway which traffic passes through to go to Kingston, Hobart and Margate.
The centre is not on a main road and has good fencing which gives excellent safety appeal. The centre has been open for four years. It is beautifully stocked with educational toys and equipment which is all supported by a purpose-built centre. We also have some lovely natural resources including tyres and logs which we have added to make a fun and exciting playground.
Our staff are qualified and experienced, and we are all committed to providing high quality childcare and education.
Melinda Bester
Centre Director
Hello!
My name is Melinda Bester, and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Blackmans Bay.
I am passionate about early learning and providing children with the very best start in life by supporting each child to grow and develop in their own unique way within a meaningful and nurturing learning environment.
I have been working with Goodstart Early Learning for over six years and have experience across all age groups from 0–5 years. I also hold a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care, Diploma in Community Services.
I have also worked in the disability sector as a manager for children in out of home care in the Children’s Services space where I have gained knowledge and have had training around trauma, behaviour support and NDIS.
At Goodstart Blackmans Bay, we are fortunate to work alongside a highly experienced and qualified team who share a genuine passion and commitment to providing children with the highest quality care and learning experiences.
Please don’t hesitate to stop by, say hello, and meet our wonderful team here at Goodstart Blackmans Bay.
