Goodstart Thornlie is a high-quality child care centre with warm and friendly educators. We are located on a cul-de-sac in a convenient pocket of town, close to schools, shops and community facilities.
We offer our children the opportunity to experience activities in a wide range of areas including science, maths, computers, art and craft and physical skills. And we promote gender equality and cultural diversity in all aspects of our programming. All children are treated as individuals with unique personalities as we support them to grow and learn at their own pace.
Our centre has two qualified Early Childhood Teachers who run our Kindergarten program, as well as our Pre-Kindergarten program. We are fortunate to have many multi-lingual educators who share their language and culture within the centre.
All of our rooms are all set up in line with an Early Years Learning Framework. 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 the important transition to school.
Meals are provided and on our site qualified cook creates fresh and nutritious meals daily, catering for all dietary requirements. We outsource Halal meat to meet cultural requirement of children in our service. We support breastfeeding where we have breastfeeding area in cot room and parent room, offering mothers to come back throughout the day to feed their child.
Our close partnerships with families enable us to communicate effectively, to meet the developmental and care requirements of all children in our care. This means we can tailor child goals and program outcomes to the child’s individual needs, interests and strengths, as well as respect the strong level of cultural diversity in our centre.
Outside, we have age-appropriate play spaces and equipment, all designed to enhance the children’s awareness of their surrounds and the greater environment, as well as their understanding of the importance of sustainability.
Our service plays an important role in the lives of our families and we hope that each family enjoys being a part of our centre. We enjoy working with the broader community as well. Through visits to the centre as well as excursions and participation in community events, we are able to deepen the relationship between the centre and the community, while teaching the children about being a contributing and active member of society.
We look forward to welcoming you and your family.
I have worked in the early learning sector since 2010. I am extremely passionate about the development and learning that happens within the child’s first five years and feel a nurturing start with a rich learning environment sets children up for a great beginning in life and supports positive outcomes for their future.
As an early childhood professional and a mother of two children, I understand how important it is for you to choose the right early learning provider for you and your little one(s). My aim is to support you and put your mind at ease from the very beginning.
Parents are our primary partners and by working together we provide the highest quality care for our children and families. Every family and child are unique, and the most important aspect of my role is to ensure that every child’s needs are met. I will ensure that your family feels supported and included into our programs and setting.
As Centre Director, my goal is to ensure that every child has the opportunity to develop their full potential, to provide an inspirational learning environment, and to ensure that both children and their families experience a sense of belonging.
We look forward to meeting you and your family at Goodstart Thornlie and exploring how we can support you through the early learning adventure.
