At Goodstart Narre Warren - Pound Road South, our philosophy centres around the belief that every child is a unique individual with their own interests and strengths. We embrace a play-based learning approach that nurtures curiosity and creativity, allowing children to explore their world in meaningful ways. 
We prioritise: 
- Holistic Development: Supporting cognitive, emotional, social, and physical growth through engaging and developmentally appropriate activities. 
- Family and Community Engagement: Building strong partnerships with families and the community to create a supportive network for each child.

Through our philosophy, we aim to create a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive and become confident, capable learners. 
-
Children need to feel safe and supported to learn and grow, so we promote key educator relationships between our educators and children. Your child will have at least one educator (their key educator) who takes them under their wing and really gets to know them. 
Our Key Educator relationships help children form secure attachments. Educators work closely with smaller groups and individual children to better understand each child. These relationships lead to improved outcomes for children as we foster more communication between families and educators. 
We inform families regularly about their child's progress and welcome family involvement in our centre events and activities.

Christine Rosewall
Centre Director
Hello, my name is Christine, and I am the Centre Director at Narre Warren - Pound Road South.
I have been with Goodstart for the past 5 years and prior to Goodstart I previously managed a play center in Bayside, this is when I knew I wanted to continue to work with children. I began as a support educator with Goodstart and then stepped up into different roles over the last few years as a, Key Educator, Team Leader, Safety Champion, Assistant Director and lastly Center Director.
I am in my final stages of studying my Advanced Diploma of Community Sector Management.
As a mother I strongly believe all children should feel safe, supported, and always respected. Providing a warm secure environment for all children to thrive and grow socially, emotionally, and physically is important to us as a team. Making strong connections with children, families and educators is something that I seek out and enjoy about my role. We as a center endeavor to work with each family individually to create a quality learning experience for each child.
On weekends and time away from the center I enjoy spending time with family, my adorable fur babies, traveling, upcycling, and gardening.
We look forward to meeting you and your family and discussing your child/ren’s learning goals.
