About our centre

Goodstart Rockingham is located 47 km south-south-west of Perth on the Whadjuk and Binjareb land of the Nyoongar people.  

Goodstart Early Learning Rockingham is a warm, welcoming centre that places emphasis on the natural environment. From learning environments flooded with natural light to spaces and a playground that provides opportunities for children to learn as they explore, discover, and imagine, Goodstart Rockingham holds a great appreciation and connection to its natural environments. 

Providing opportunities to explore outcomes associated with creativity, initiative and resilience, the natural environments encourage children to take considered risks in decision making, develop friendships, conduct experiments and nurture wild imaginations. 

Each learning environment has been designed with children at the forefront, with opportunities to explore, learn and grow in respectful ways. Our learning environments provide children opportunities and support throughout play to solve problems, make enquiries and engage in critical thinking. Our learning environments at Goodstart Rockingham are inspired by a holistic approach, where educators see children’s learning as interconnected and integrated. Goodstart Rockingham also places emphasis on the relationships between children, families and the community and highlights the importance of mutual, respectful relationships and partnerships for learning. 

Our centre offers care for children from the age of six weeks up until five years as we celebrate, honour and welcome children, families and educators from a diverse range of nationalities. Educators at Goodstart Rockingham understand the importance of developing secure, respectful, and reciprocal relationships and we use a key educator approach in each of our rooms. Throughout nurturing and responsive relationships, educators create opportunities and moments for children to feel respected, valued and develop confidence. Our responsive and respectful learning relationships are strengthened over time as children and educators have the opportunity to learn together and share moments of respect, trust and decision making.

At Goodstart Rockingham we encourage healthy eating and our menus, based on a whole food approach to nutrition, offer a variety of meals that are sweetened by honey or maple syrup, have no added salt, and are flavoured by a wide range of herbs and spices.

Goodstart Rockingham delivers a high quality of care and provides an environment that enables young children to grow and learn comfortably, confidently and easily each day. 

With our open door policy we welcome you to visit our child care centre and experience it for yourself.

We look forward to meeting you and your family at Goodstart Rockingham.

Madeline Hannaway

Centre Director

Hi, my name is Maddie and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Rockingham.

I joined Goodstart in 2014 after working in Early Childhood Education and Care roles since 2009. My journey began in a Centre in Brisbane; since then, I have worked in Centre’s across Victoria and Western Australia in roles of Senior Educator, Educational Leader, Assistant Director and Centre Director.

Over this time I have worked with all age groups; with children and families from many different backgrounds and this has shaped my belief that collaborative relationships with families are detrimental in the growth, support and learning of children within their early years journey.

I also hold a high importance of the ongoing collaborative relationships within the Centre, and am passionate about ensuring I am mentoring and offering opportunities for the educators professional growth opportunities which ultimately leads to a strong and knowledgeable team. 

I strive for high quality learning environments; to provide a safe, nurturing and welcoming place for children to develop skills for life, engage in meaningful play-based learning and to have fun! 

At Goodstart, every moment counts. So please take this moment to book a tour and take the opportunity meet our wonderful team and experience the high quality learning and care that Goodstart Rockingham can offer your family.
