Deepti Gogna

Centre Director
My name is Deepti Gogna and I am currently the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Forest Hill - Fraser Place. I can’t wait to meet you and introduce you to my fabulous team at this lovely new early learning centre on Canterbury Road.

I am deeply passionate about early childhood education and have been dedicated to this field since 2016. Holding a Graduate Diploma in Children’s Services and a Bachelor's Degree in Education, I am committed to fostering a positive and enriching environment for young learners. 

I firmly believe that a child’s early experiences in education lay the foundation for their lifelong attitude towards learning. My greatest joy comes from connecting with the families and spending time with both the children and the educators. 

I am committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and supportive space where each child can thrive. 

It is a privilege to contribute to the lives of the wonderful children we care for and educate each day. Our role in establishing strong foundations is essential for their growth and development. 

I work closely with a team of dedicated, professional, and highly qualified educators who share my passion for helping children reach their full potential. Together, we provide ongoing support and guidance to ensure the delivery of daily practices and curriculum within the approved learning framework, achieving the best possible learning outcomes. 

We are excited to welcome you to our new centre and are available to discuss how we can support your child’s journey of lifelong learning. 

*Official opening subject to service approval - tours of our centre are now open!
