About our centre

Goodstart Early Learning Ferntree Gully is situated in the foothills of The Dandenong Ranges, close to several local primary schools and a Westfield Shopping centre.

 

Our team of highly qualified educators strongly believe that the first five years are the most important in a child’s development. This is evident in our play-based programs which are guided by the Early Years Learning Framework and National Quality Standards.

 

Throughout our 6 indoor rooms and 4 spacious outdoor yards we focus on creating a sense of belonging for each child. Through literacy rich, natural and enabling environments, our educators ensure all children have the chance to grow and develop through play. Our Art Stations are full of open ended materials which are accessible at all times. All year round we have the doors open to enable the children to roam freely between the indoor and outdoor environments.


We have a Qualified Chef who also holds a Bachelor of Health Science. This allows for glorious, well balanced nutritious meals which are tailored to every child’s individual needs and allergies.

 

Community is a strong driver throughout our programs. With walking excursions, and the use of the Goodstart bus we have been able to visit local parks, schools, and libraries. We have developed community connections with our local primary school, elderly community and sporting clubs.

 

Early Childhood Teachers run our 3 year old Kinder program, as well as our 4 year old Funded Kinder Program. This allows our families the flexibility of a long day care setting in these essential programs.

 

Come in and see for yourself how we can help give your child the best start in life – and give you peace of mind. We would love to show you around.

Cecilia Sasse

Centre Director

Hello, my name is Cecilia Sasse and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Ferntree Gully.

My career in Early Learning:

I have been an Early Learning educator since 2012 and I hold a Diploma of Early Childhood Education. I have worked across all age groups during my career with Goodstart Early learning.

Before my career with Goodstart, I worked as a Pharmacy Technician for 10 years. Once I became a mother of three beautiful children, it didn’t take me long to realise how important early childhood education and care is in all areas of a child’s development.

My Early Learning values:

As an educator I have always been influenced by the Bowlby’s Attachment Theory. He believed that early relationships with caregivers play a major role in child development and continue to influence social relationships throughout life.

I believe good communication between families and educators is the key to tailoring great quality outcomes for children. I also focus on inclusion, safety and wellbeing of children and I like to think I go above and beyond to assist families to get access the best experience possible.

Why your child should spend the day with me (and the amazing team) at Goodstart Ferntree Gully:

To meet our wonderful team, make new friends and to learn through play by exploring the range of learning experiences our team have created.

I am looking forward to meeting you and your families.
