Womindjeka, Hello and Welcome!
At Goodstart Hoppers Crossing Barber Drive, we are committed to creating a welcoming, family friendly atmosphere where children feel supported and valued. We understand the importance of strong partnerships with families, and we work together to ensure that each child’s happiness and learning journey are at the heart of everything we do.
Our dedicated team of qualified educators, led by Centre Director Emily Smith, work collaboratively to build trusting, respectful relationships with both children and families. Through open communication and a shared commitment to excellence, we provide children with an environment where they feel safe, valued, and excited to learn.
At Goodstart Hoppers Crossing Barber Drive, we believe in the power of play. We create spaces that encourage exploration, creativity, and discovery, allowing children to learn through their natural instincts and curiosity. Our environment is designed to reflect growth, imagination, and the joy of learning.
We are also committed to embedding sustainability into our daily practice. By increasing awareness of environmental responsibilities, we empower children, educators, and families to become active participants in caring for our planet.
At Goodstart Hoppers Crossing Barber Drive, we provide high-quality early learning for children from 6 weeks to three years, fostering their development through play-based experiences in a nurturing environment. Our educators are dedicated to building strong foundations in the early years, supporting children's social, emotional, and cognitive growth.
We also offer a nurturing two-year kindergarten program that ensures continuity in learning, helping children develop the skills and confidence they need to transition smoothly to school and beyond.
We invite you to visit our centre, meet our friendly and passionate team of educators, and see firsthand how we create a supportive, inclusive community for children and families. We look forward to welcoming you and your child into the Goodstart Hoppers Crossing Barber Drive family!
With over 17 years of experience in early childhood education and a Diploma in Early Childhood Education, I am deeply passionate about supporting children’s best start in life and guiding their learning through strong relationships and play.
As Centre Director, I lead a team of qualified and dedicated educators who share my commitment to providing the highest quality of care and education. Together, we create a nurturing environment where every child’s learning journey is valued and supported, helping them to develop a strong foundation for lifelong growth.
Supporting families is essential to the success of each child, and I am proud to lead a team that works collaboratively with families to ensure every child thrives. We believe in building lasting relationships, fostering a sense of belonging, and nurturing curiosity and learning in a safe, inclusive space.
