At Goodstart Busselton, 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: 
1. Holistic Development: Supporting cognitive, emotional, social, and physical growth through engaging and developmentally appropriate activities. 
2. Family and Community Engagement: Building strong partnerships with families and the community to create a supportive network for each child. 
3. Inclusive Environment: Celebrating diversity and ensuring that all children feel valued, respected, and included. 
4. Lifelong Learning: Instilling a love of learning by encouraging exploration, problem-solving, and critical thinking. 
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.
At our Busselton centre, we're proud to inspire your child's love of learning with the support of our passionate and qualified early childhood experts. Teachers with bachelor's degrees run our three and four-year-old kindergarten program, so children can be well on their way to excellent learning outcomes by the time they start school.
At Goodstart, we believe all children deserve the best possible start in life, which includes access to high-quality early childhood education and care. We offer: 
- Discounts on multiple days 
- All day sessions 
- Fee assistance programs for families that need support
We work closely with parents to ensure the individual needs, interests and strengths of children are considered, and our learning goals reflect them. Using Storypark, a wonderful communication platform, we stay in close touch with families and ensure you're well informed about your child's development and achievements.

Kaya! I’m Shannon and I lead the great team of Educators, as Centre Director, at Goodstart Early Learning Busselton.

I have been with Goodstart for 15 years and have been in the industry for over 25 years.

My driving passion is for families and children to have a safe and engaging place to spend their time. My experience as a Centre Director, Educational Leader and Advanced Diploma qualified educator, working with children from birth to 12 years old, has built a strong passion for quality care and education, children and families.

I am proud of the team I work with. Our Early Childhood Teachers, leadership team, educators and Chef are passionate and experienced in equal measure, as well as highly qualified, and dedicated to delivering the highest quality in early learning.

The experiences I share with our children, families, team and community drive my passion as much today as it did at the start of my career.

I look forward to meeting you and sharing our centre with your family. Come in and see how we can start your child on a journey of lifelong learning.
