Goodstart stories
Goodstart continues journey to ‘walk the talk’ on reconciliation
Putting reconciliation into action to proudly walk this journey alongside community.


I have completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education, and have been working in the Early Childhood sector for over seven years, with experience as both an Early Childhood Teacher and Assistant Director.
I am deeply passionate about supporting children’s growth, wellbeing, and development, and I believe that strong, respectful relationships with families are at the heart of a child’s learning journey.
I am committed to creating a warm, inclusive, and nurturing environment where every child feels safe, valued, and confident to explore, learn, and grow. Working alongside our wonderful and dedicated team, I strive to ensure that every child and family’s experience at Goodstart Ballajura is enriching, meaningful, and filled with opportunities to reach their full potential.
A little fun fact about me: I’m originally from Canada and still have a soft spot for snowy winters, though I much prefer the Australian sunshine!
I look forward to meeting you all, building strong connections within our community, and contributing positively to your child’s educational journey with us. Please feel free to say hello to me and our wonderful team—we are always happy to chat and support you.
Sincerely
Maira
