Hello, my name is Vicky, and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Boronia, Iris Crescent

I relocated from Perth, Western Australia at the beginning of 2021 and have continued my Goodstart journey here in Boronia. Originally, I moved from Singapore to Perth in 2009 and began my career with Goodstart Early Learning in 2010. Over the years, my journey with the organisation has been both rewarding and enriching, and I take great pride in being part of Goodstart.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with all age groups and in a variety of roles. These experiences have provided me with a strong foundation of knowledge, understanding, and leadership within the early learning sector. I completed my Bachelor of Early Childhood Education with Curtin University in 2015.

As an experienced educator, leader, and a mother of two beautiful girls, I deeply understand how important it is for families to feel confident that their children are in a safe, caring, nurturing, and loving environment. Early childhood is such a crucial time in a child’s development, and I am passionate about creating a space where every child feels secure, supported, and inspired to learn.
I am excited about the privilege and responsibility of being a meaningful part of your child’s early learning journey. Building positive relationships with families, grounded in trust, respect, and open communication, is something I value greatly.

I look forward to meeting you and working together to provide your child with the high-quality care and education they truly deserve at Goodstart.

Warm regards,
Vicky Segaran

My name is Madhura Bhagwat, and I feel very privileged to serve as Assistant Director here at Iris Crescent, Boronia. I bring over 16 years of experience working alongside children, educators, and families in early childhood settings. With Goodstart Early Learning I have been working over 13 years where each day, I am inspired by the curiosity, creativity, joy, and resilience our youngest learners bring into our community. I have also recently completed my Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood), further strengthening my commitment to high-quality early learning.

I believe that childhood should be a time where children feel safe, respected, and full of joy, supported by meaningful relationships. In my role, I work closely with our dedicated teaching team to ensure they can focus on what matters most: building secure attachments, recognising each child’s individuality, and creating environments where children feel confident to explore, make mistakes, try again, laugh, and grow.

I am excited to collaborate with our talented educators and partner with you, our families, to create a strong and supportive foundation for your child’s learning journey. I strongly believe that nurturing each child’s individuality strengthens their sense of identity and emotional wellbeing. Every child has immense potential, and with the right opportunities and guidance, they can truly thrive.

Please feel welcome to contact me anytime. I value your questions and feedback and look forward to working together to support your child.

We look forward to partnering with you on your child’s learning journey.
