Goodstart Elizabeth is a great centre with very warm, caring and inclusive staff. Any issues during the day are told on pick up and the ladies go above and beyond to make the children feel a sense of belonging. More than happy to recommend this centre to anyone looking at putting their child in to daycare.
Can not recommend this centre enough. My daughter is so loved and welcomed by not only staff but all her peers. She has a strong sense of security and has built some amazing relationships with staff and other children.
My Early Childhood career began in 2000. I have been fortunate to experience many roles in my career, and my passion has enabled me the opportunity to foster children’s development, in a safe and comfortable environment, while being able to observe a child’s journey from their first day, until they confidently leave to begin school.
I look forward to welcoming both you and your children into the Goodstart Early Learning family. Feel free to come and say hello and see how we can help give your child the best start.
