Goodstart Warragul Sutton Street
Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Warragul – Sutton Street is located in the quiet streets of Warragul on a large block. We have cows as neighbours and although ours is a rural setting, we are still close to schools, shops and community facilities.
We welcome children aged six weeks to five years and is made up of five purpose built rooms divided into age groups.
Our staff are highly dedicated professionals who pride themselves on supporting early childhood development, care and education.
Inside, all of the rooms - from Nursery to Kindergarten / Preschool - are all set up in line with an Early Years Learning Framework, with sensory and play based learning opportunities. Colourful, stimulating surrounds ensure the children have the chance to grow and develop through sensory, play-based learning; and we are focused on ensuring the children are ready to take that all important step up to school.
Our Storypark platform, as well as regular family nights and emailed newsletters, enable us to stay in close contact with parents and families, ensuring open and clear communication. This also means we can tailor each program to the child’s individual needs, interests and strengths – as well as the strong level of cultural diversity in our centre.
Outside, we have age appropriate play spaces and equipment, all geared to enhance the children’s awareness of their surrounds and the greater environment, as well as their understanding of the importance of sustainability.
We also have a cook at the centre providing tasty and nutritious meals for the children when tummies start to growl.
Community is also important to us and through visits to the centre and participation in events and activities throughout the year we are able to enrich the learning experience. Art and music experiences are provided on a daily basis which allow the children to freely express their creativity.
Working closely with families and community, the staff at Goodstart Warragul Sutton Street ensure children receive the knowledge and experience they need in the first five years of their life.
We would welcome the opportunity to meet with you and your family and learn a little about how we can best support you on the journey of lifelong learning.

Mariana Mansour
Centre Director
My name is Mrs. Mariana Mansour, and I am honoured to be the Centre Director at Goodstart Warragul Sutton Street.
I live with my wonderful husband and our two beloved fur babies, Oscar and Jessica, who bring endless joy to our lives.
I hold a Bachelor of Education and Science with Honours in Physics and Chemistry, as well as a Bachelor of Education in Early Childhood Education. I spent 14 rewarding years as a high school teacher before transitioning into early childhood education, where I’ve dedicated the last ten years to working with Goodstart Early Learning.
With over two decades of experience in education, I bring a deep passion for teaching and a strong commitment to creating a positive, engaging environment where every child is supported to reach their full potential.
Outside the centre, I enjoy travelling, listening to music, painting, cooking, gardening, hiking, and watching sci-fi movies.
I look forward to meeting you and working together to support your child's learning journey.
