About our centre

Goodstart Deer Park has been a part of the local Deer Park community since 1999. We are a warm and friendly centre. As all our educators have children of their own, they are able to provide much experience to the children and families within this community.

Goodstart Deer Park is a very multicultural centre with many families that have recently migrated to Australia. Our centre is located on the corner of Ballarat and Station roads, and accessible to local shops, schools and public transport.

We have a very experienced group of staff, many who have been with the centre for 5 – 10 years. Our friendly staff are the major reason why families have such a great relationship with our centre. Our staff, like our families, also come from a range of different cultural backgrounds and many speak a second language. This provides great opportunities for the children to learn more about other languages and cultures.

Our centre is very family orientated and we have social family nights where we invite families to bring a plate and get to know staff and other families at the centre. Families love this interaction. Also, because many of our families come from migrant backgrounds, as well as providing a caring and stimulating early learning environment, we also help families to tap into services and resources and activities they might be interested in.

We also have a cook at the centre providing tasty and nutritious meals for the children. We welcome you to come and visit our centre so you can see what makes it so special.

Julie Blyth

Centre Director

Hi my name is Julie Blyth and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Deer Park.

I have been working in the early childhood sector for 16 years. All of which has been dedicated to Goodstart. During this time I have performed several roles from educator, senior educator, educational leader, assistant director to now Director. 

I have worked with all age groups from 6 weeks to 5 years.

I believe in encouraging children to learn and develop at their own level, so they will gain the confidence of self-importance. 

I believe in giving them guidance and understanding, so they will have the opportunity to explore their world in a safe and controlled environment. 

I believe that a strong family relationship is the backbone to a happy secure child and families are the foundation for the children to also learn.

Communication is the key to building trusting and healthy relationships with families and I am looking forward to working with you all so that together we can meet the needs of your children.

I also believe children learn through play, and that they appreciate a need for an established routine. 

We have a qualified chef on premises, ensuring the children are eating healthy and nutritious. We cater for children with dietary requirements and allergies, we are a nut free centre  

The team at Deer Park are looking forward to meeting you and being given the opportunity to be a part of your child/children’s learning journey throughout their time with us here at Goodstart.
