Welcome to Goodstart Middle Ridge!
Our beautiful centre has 5 rooms, ranging from Nursery through to Kindergarten. In each room we have dedicated educators that consistently work to create a meaningful, child-centred curriculum to support our little one’s learning journey. Our room ratios are:
Nursery 1- Ages 6 weeks to 15 months, 1:4 ratio
Nursery 2- Ages 15 months to 2 years, 1:4 ratio
Toddlers 1- Ages 2 years to 3 years, 1:5 ratio
Kindergarten 1 and Kindergarten 2- Ages 3 years to 5 years, 1:11 ratio
We have two large playgrounds that include multiple sandpits, a swing set, sensory gardens and lots of room to run and play!
We are deeply committed to the safety of our children, staff and families, and we work to ensure the best possible experience for our little learners.
Jess Nauschutz
Centre Director
G'day! I'd like to formally introduce myself. My name is Jess, and I am very happy to announce that I am the new Centre Director at Goodstart Middle Ridge.
I believe in being open and honest and building close bonds and connections with not only our children but also families and the wider community. With 14 years of experience in the childhood education sector, I bring a wealth of knowledge and understanding. Guiding children’s learning has always been a passion of mine, and I am excited to work alongside families and guardians to share goals and expectations.
I am excited to start this journey and support you and your families. I warmly invite you to visit our centre and meet me in person. I look forward to getting to know you and your family!
Thank you for your time, and I can't wait to embark on this exciting journey together.
